Re: Re: Problem with my .pl script. Helpppp!

Maybe there's rather a problem with the HTML form
where you actually mix GET and POST methods:

<form action="!CGI_URL!/test.pl?login=yes"
[download]

Adding parameters to a URL after the question mark is the GET method, but

 method="post">
[download]

is obviously the POST method.

To be more concise, move the login parameter inside the form, thus removing any GET stuff. Like this:

<form action="!CGI_URL!/test.pl" method="post">
[...]
<input type=text name="user">
<input type=hidden name="login" value="yes">
[download]

franktalisman++ good point. However, you can post to !CGI_URL!/test.pl?login=yes and still grab its value from $ENV{QUERY_STRING} OR you can uncomment line 458 of CGI.pm* which allows you to append query string data to the end of post data. However, by default what you said is mostly true if you are only concerned with CGI's param method. Hope this helps. * YMMV. It should be in the init sub. Just look for a comment that reads "APPEND to the POST data". 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]
