Re^4: Proper use of HTML::Extract for extracting

Are you expecting to see the text you typed into the input box from this page ?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="MyForm" action="/cgi-bin/ex.cgi",method="post",id="f1">
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Why don't you want to use the CGI module ?

Yes ,that's what I want to do. I didn't use CGI.pm because i thought it's not being used anymore (correct me if i'm wrong i'm new in perl)	[reply]

i thought it's not being used anymore It's no longer a core module since version v5.22. If you are just parsing form parameters take a look at CGI::Simple. `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use CGI::Simple; my $q = CGI::Simple->new; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><body>\n"; print $q->param('textfield'); print"</html></body>";` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]
