You won't need to run form_builder, you already have an adequate
form you can copy. All it needs is to be told where to find the
perl script instead of the C code, so I guess you change 
"check_query" to "check_query.pl".

Running it from the command line can fail in this way. It can still
work fine from the server.

h2ph is a tool which comes with perl for converting standard C
.h files into ones which perl can use. You probably won't need to
use it.
