Thanks ahead of time for all your help.

What i need to do is setup a program that will be called by an outside program that will also pass to it XML. how can i get my program to store the incoming xml into a variable?

for example the calling program will do something link this: 
use Win32::OLE;
my $SendObject = Win32::OLE->new('microsoft.XMLhttp');
$SendObject->open("POST", 'http://www.xyz.com/my_prog.cgi', "false");
$SendObject->setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml");
$SendObject->send($XML_INFO);

Now i need my_prog.cgi to grab the xml info coming in and i am unsure how to accomplish this.

thanks
