gdnew claimed: "I can't use CGI.pm.".

Okay, I'll bite. I actually have a few programs out there where I print headers manually, rather than use CGI.pm. This is invariably because these are small programs and I can't see the point of loading 6,000 lines of code to print a "Content-type: text/html\n\n" header. However, it's not the case that I can't use CGI.pm. It's that I choose not to do this. I don't break the rules because I don't know them. I break the rules because I do know them.

In your case, it's entirely possible that you don't need CGI.pm. However, your claiming that you "can't" use it raises my suspicions. Why can't you, and can you show me the code you typically use for form parsing?

Cheers,
Ovid
