Dear Monks,

I am trying to write a pure perl web server and already done writing the server which listening on a port and handling the respond code, setup the %ENV, content type etc. everything correctly ( Socket based ). But the limitation is I have to done everything inside the server for the rest of the query.

Then I found my missing puzzle is how a web server sends *data* to another perl script, because a CGI script don't need to concern what the server is, so I believe there must be a standard way to do that. I did a Google search, but all the results are pointing me to how to interact between HTML form and use CGI, or what kind of standard %ENV variables required, or respond code, sort of.

So my questions are:

Any clue or reference readings are much appreciated. If that isn't too complex, some example code is most welcome!! =)Thanks in advance!
