The element name you're requesting doesn't match the case of the element
name in the form. For example, in the form, you have an input element
named 'date_received', but you're trying to grab one named
'DATE_RECEIVED' with the param() method from CGI.pm. (CGI::Application's
param() method is case-insenstive, but CGI.pm's is not, as HTML element
names are case-insensitive.)
