What is this? First, use strict will complain that you didn't declare
it. Then use warnings will complain that you're uselessly using a
scalar variable in void context.


parse_form_data (select_advanced);

Here, you have an undeclared subroutien being called, followed by an
unquoted bareword. Both are errors.

$NAME = $select_advanced {'NAME'};

Here, you're using two undeclared variables, $NAME and
%select_advanced.

$NAME;

Another use of the undeclared variable, this time uselessly used in
void context.

else die;

Now you have an else without an if, and without braces. Neither is
allowed.


None of your code makes any sense. If you want real help, post real
code.
