Sorry for the stupid question.

I'll hack around this but curious why first use passes.

The first use passes because it doesn't have the same error.

Why are you reinventing that wheel? Have a look at the CGI module - it's
the standard for a reason. (If you're using a book that told you to do
that, take that book back for a refund, and buy one whose author actually
knows what he or she is talking about.)

Also, why are you using global variables for everything, and giving them
nonsensical names like %HASH? Those are bad habits in *any* language.

if (!$HASH{search1}) {
$search = "search2 only";
}

if (!HASH{search2}) {
^
$HASH

$search = "search1 only";
}
if (!HASH{search1} && !HASH{search2}){
^ ^
$HASH $HASH

$search = "no search";
}
