Hello, I was hoping that you good people could help me. I am trying to figure out how to take data from a address line and insert it into a cgi program 
http://www.domain.com/bin/sendnotice.cgi?category=ArtsArt&email=me@me.
+com&password=369728

Data trying to transfer into cgi:
catgory
email
password

[download]
Here's the program that I'm trying to transfer the data into, and the part that I can't figure out: 

read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
        ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
        $value =~ tr/+/ /;
        $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
        $value =~ s/\n/ /g;

        $request{$name} = $value;


}


$url = "http://www.domain.com";
$refer = "http://www.domain.com";
$maillocation = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";

$stmail="$request{'category'}" ;
$tmail="$request{'email'}" ;
$tnmail="$request{'password'}" ;

Any help would be greatly apprecieted. Lisa
