CGI FORM training - the assignment

How to run this code

You can execute this code from your FORM by adding:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.fedel.com/cgi-bin/nation1.pl">

Variables you need to pass

Provide the following variables which will be returned in a formatted page.
In each case, I've suggested the type of element
to use when creating the FORM. This is not
the only way to handle each one, but
is the way we'll be doing it for this class.
