get a value from a URL

T-Lo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a really basic question... anyone have a snippit of code that will get values from a url?
example:

myscript.cgi?value1=wee&value2=bah

then in the script I would get $value1=wee and $value2=bah

again, Im just learning it so I know this is a really stupid question. :*(

Assuming that you are writing a cgi-script, `use CGI; my $query = new CGI; %params = $query->Vars; foreach (keys %params){ print "$_\t",$params{$_},"\n"; }` [download] <code untested but should work. Also read: Tutorials for CGI from our ovid at his CGI Course artist	[reply] [d/l]

Take a look at CGI. Specifically the param method from CGI. antirice The first rule of Perl club is - use Perl The ith rule of Perl club is - follow rule i - 1 for i > 1	[reply]

Another option you have is to use CGI::Simple. It's a drop in replacement for CGI that doesn't have all the HTML generation methods.	[reply]

Use this code.. use CGI; $query=new CGI; $value1 = $query->param('value1'); $value2 = $query->param('value2'); No problem ... now u have a final answer. Sureshp	[reply]
