Howdy... I have a form that may contain several hundred fields. $CGI::POST_MAX = -1. In the Apache httpd.conf file, we have this line:
LimitRequestBody 2147483647
Yet when I submit the form, I only get the first 8k (field names + data). I'm running ActiveState perl 5.6.1 on Windows XP (don't ask). Here's the code.

Can anyone *please* help me out? I have no idea why this is happening. Yes, I have tried Apache forums.
Thank you Thank you Thank you. 
#!C:\perl\bin\perl  -w
use CGI;
use strict;
$| = 1;
my $query = new CGI;
print $query->header("text/html");
print "<html><body>\n";

for my $val ($query->param){
    my $ct = 1;
    print "<BR>submitted $val: ";
    foreach ($query->param($val)) {
        print "<BR>$ct [" . $query->param($val) . "]\n";
        $ct += 1;
    }
}


print "<form name=frmSize method=Post>\n";

#The input field "x" has a value 100 bytes long.
for (my $i = 0; $i < 200; $i++){
    print "<BR>input box $i:<input type=text size=110 name=\"x\" value
+=\"012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345
+6789012345678901234567890123456789\">\n";
}

print "<BR><input type=submit></form>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";

exit 0;
