Perl: Variable input via HTML

I am completely new to perl and am just going over the tutorials right now. What I am trying to attempt is to take the input from the HTML (in a form) and use those variables in a perl script. I've looked everywhere for a simple example on how to do this and cannot find it or do not understand what they mean. Here is what I have below:

#!/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print <<ENDHTML;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>CGI Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl">
name: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="realname"><BR>
email: <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="email"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

ENDHTML
print "My name is: $realname\n";
print "My email is: $email\n";

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
