Can I hack this perl thing ?

I am a beginner to perl. I have a setup a page on an apache server
which has its addr like
http:// <name of server> :8088/cgi-bin/names.pl?id1=xx&id2=yy

This page contains a list of names of a few friends. This page is made
when a friend of mine registers in my guestbook. Now the question is
that this above address is displayed in the browser everytime a friend
accesses their account. So he/she can see their own page but can a
friend of mine get to this page and somehow modify its contents and
see the list of all my friends that exist and show up when the xx
value of id1 or id2 change?

Can somebody please advice, so that I can know how secure this page of
mine is.....

Thank you for your time in advance ....
