Saving large articles through a form to the DB

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to Perl and already I'm finding myself lost. I have created a form for my website that allows users to enter news articles (a textarea) and then my code saves the text entered ($Text) to the database. I have set the Text to longtext through SQL, because these articles are relatively long, but for some reason whenever I try to input new data, it takes me to a blank screen and the url is my setArticle.cgi (where I am saving $Text and updating it to the DB). When I submit articles that are shorter, about 2 paragraphs long, the script works fine. Any reason why this is being difficult? Sorry if it isn't clear. Thanks so much!
