CGI pull variables from a form

It has been ages since I've done CGI Perl scripting.

My variable $UName is blank when this script is executed. Why is not being picked up from the HTML form?
HTML:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
....
</head>
<body class='d-s'>
<form id='d-form'>
<div class='section form'>
<h1>Create your account</h1>
<p>Creating an online account lets you easily update your information.</p>
<p class='required'>
All fields marked
<em class='red'>*</em>
are required
</p>
<h2>Create your username and password</h2>
<fieldset>
<ol>
<li class='required-field' style='float: none;'>
<label>
Username
<em>*</em>
</label>
<input name='Wusername' type='text' />
</li>
<li class='required-field' style='float: none;'>
<label>
Password
<em>*</em>
</label>
<input id='password' name='Wpassword' type='password' />
</li>
<li class='required-field' style='float: none;'>
<label>
Confirm Password
<em>*</em>
</label>
<input id='confirmpassword' name='Wconfirmpassword' type='password' />
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
</div>
<div class='submit'>
<input class='pill-button' type='submit' url='/cgi/unamecheck.cgi' value='Start!' />
</div>
</form>
...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
unamecheck.cgi:
...

my $UName=param('Wusername');
my $UPassword=param('Wpassword');
print "$UName - name<br>";

...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance for any help.
