Hi,
I'm having a problem with accessing POST data through Apache::Request object. here is my code snippet which accesses the request data. 


use Apache::Request;
use CGI;

my $apr= Apache::Request->new(shift);
my $page = new CGI;

my $test=$apr->param('school');

print $page->header();

print("Post Data " . $test);

HTML content 

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form method=Post action='test.pl' >
<input type=text name='school' value='test'>
<input type=submit value='Ok'>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I can't access the POST data using $apr object. But I can access the same POST data if I replace $apr with $page.
I am running my applications in Apache 1.3, which is mod-perl enabled.
I am sort of a beginner to Perl. Can anybody help me with this??
Thanks.
