That is the funny thing, I am adapting a script put out by PayPal that had their own handrolled CGI and attempting to make it use the CGI module.

The problem is I need to get a just the straight post string to add a parameter and send it off, param() isn't letting me do it. Any ideas on how to access the raw post string using the CGI module, right now the script does this:

read (STDIN, $query, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
$query .= '&cmd=_notify-validate';

There has to be something in CGI to do that read() line.
