Thanks for the replies!

Well instead of CGI.pm, as of now I'm using this example I got from a web site. 

sub startup {

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



#then when I want to retrieve a value for the input field called "name
+", then I will use:

&startup;
print "$INPUT{'name'}

This is the other alternative I was talking about. Is this as safe as using CGI.pm Input method?

Thanks!
