Can I get at the parameters in my CGI program using the CGI.pm module if I am progamming an asp page run against MS IIS? The following code produces no output, I am posting a whole load of fields from a form to my asp page and was expecting this to pick up 'em up, 
use CGI;

sub do_work 
{
    my($query) = @_;
    my(@values,$key);

    print "<H2>Here are the current settings in this form</H2>";
    foreach $key ($query->param) 
    {        
        print "<STRONG>$key</STRONG> -> ";
        @values = $query->param($key);
        print  join(", ",@values),"<BR>\n";
    }       
}
    
my $query = new CGI;    
do_work($query);

If I use the $Request object, i.e something like , 
my($form_item) = $Request->item($field_name);
$form_item = $Server->HTMLEncode($form_item);

then I get back what I'm after, but I'd prefer to use the CGI.pm module as I've seen some examples where you can easily pull the fields back into a hash table and I'd like to use it. Wired Active Perl 5.6 into IIS. Another problem is that I have to replace the print statement with a $Response->Write(...) method call. Do I have to do something to STDOUT to get print to work properly (I suspect its output is going off into the void somewhere) in an asp page?
