mshanama has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, Does anyone know in what version param('POSTDATA') was an available option in CGI.pm. I've seen a note in the change log saying that documentation about POSTDATA was added in version 3.12, but the feature was apparantly around earlier than that. thx, mfs

    You get a 'parameter' called POSTDATA when you have a form with a POST method and the body content is neither "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" or "multipart/form-data".

    CGI introduced this in version 2.92.

    I don't know but you can certainly look this information up yourself. Look where it says Other Releases - You can browse the doc right there, or feel free to D/L what ever version you want to confirm.

    UPDATE:
    POSTDATA does not appear in the POD of 3.11.
