5. Create a page called presidents.html and save it in the PERL PRACTICE folder.
   The page should have this code:
   <h3>Who were our three greatest presidents?</h3>
   <input type=”text” name=”prez1”>
   <p>
   <input type=”text” name=”prez2”>
   <p>
   <input type=”text” name=”prez3”>
6. Create a script that:
   - Requests the names entered in the input boxes on presidents.html.
   TIP: Re-use the subroutine getFormData to parse the form data—just cut and paste.
   - Checks to see if the names “George Washington” or “Abraham Lincoln” were input.
   - If either name was input, the script prints out all three names in an HTML table with a gray background.

   

   - If neither name was input, it prints:
   What about George Washington or Abraham Lincoln? Shouldn’t they be in the list?
