Re^3: parse $ENV{'QUERY

If you are using CGI consider using the param method:

my $q = CGI->new;
my $name = $q->param('name');
warn $name;

You can run this from the command line by passing parameters ./cgi.pl name=Derp.

However if you want to run this without a web server do you really need to use CGI at all? Perhaps if you write a short explanation of what you're trying to achieve people can provide better advice. If you do need to write something for the web, consider using Mojoliciouis::Lite rather than CGI.

I'm sorry that I am not getting my problem stated in a understandable way. I have data filled out from a html page...the data is available in the 'get' query string. If I could get access to that string locally I would not have to have a web server parse the string and update a database. I'm trying to eliminate the web server.	[reply]

If you remove the web server, how will you serve the web page to people? The Mojolicious documentation has links to lots of usefull information, including a section titeled "Learning Web Technologies" and a tutorial showing how to write basic web apps and running them with the built in web servers.

I have no need to show anything...the 'a.cgi' would parse the query string and update database tables with the parsed values. I do not need to answer back to the client.	[reply]
