Creating empty variables for input data

[BradenM - Sonoma Computer]

Hello;
I am creating a script that will be taking data from a POST and submitting
the data to variables which are placed within a hash for string to data
association. Then, using HTML::Table and Mail::Sendmail, the data is parsed
into an html table and then an email is created and send to a recipient.
So, my question is this; How do I take the input from a post form and have
the variables pick up the data and process it into a hash?

my $name = ;
my $instock = ;
my describe = ;
# Hash to hold inventory data
my %table_data = (
model ='$modelnumber',
item ='$name',
available ='$instock',
description ='$describe',
);

This is all the code I have written thus far, any pointers or suggestions
for this project?
