    No, the entered script should re-display the form.

    Here is one of the cases where it makes sense to use a single CGI, not
    an html document and two CGIs.

    1) If called with no data, the CGI displays the form to be filled out.
    2) If called with some data, the CGI displays the form to be filled out
        with some fields filled in and some fields highlighted in red.
    3) If called with all required data, process it.

    Note that this is an html/cgi problem, and is not specific to perl.
