Here is a function that reads POST CGI data and puts it into a hash, where the CGI name is the key and the value is the value. The function returns a reference to that hash. I used to have one that would do both GET and POST methods, but I cannot seem to find it. However, this will work just as good. 
sub ReadCGI {
     my($cgi, @junk, $val, $field, %in, $i);
     read(STDIN, $cgi, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
     @junk = split(/&/,$cgi);
     foreach $i (0 .. $#junk) {
          $junk[$i] =~ s/\+/ /g;
          ($field, $val) = split (/=/,$junk[$i]);
          $field=~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
          $val=~ s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
          $in{$field} .= $val;
     }
     return(\%in);
}

is not the eternal Code.
The typeglob that can be named
is not the eternal Typeglob.
