I have two programs in perl (see also below), one generates a login form and sent it to clients, and the other one receives the data (name and password) filled in the form when submit button is pressed. Both programs worked fine over HTTP until I moved to a new site, which is secured by SSL with a self-signed certificate. A little bit more details: 1. We checked the values of name an passwd were sent. 2. Nothing received at the end of the server. 2. If the values of some parameters in the URL were sent to the server through the URL "RecieverURL", the values would be printed. I am looking for guidance. ----- program 1: the form ------------------- 
print "<FORM METHOD='post' ACTION='RecieverURL'>";
print "<INPUT SIZE=20 TYPE='textbox' NAME='name' VALUE=''>";
print "<INPUT SIZE=20 TYPE='password' NAME='passwd' VALUE='' >";
print "<INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='submit'>";
print "</FORM>";

----- program 2: paser the submitted data --- 
use vars qw(%in);
ReadParse();

my $name              = $in{name};
my $passwd             = $in{passwd};

print "name = $name";
print "passwd = $passwd";
