I know that this is probably a extremely simple thing that I am overlooking, and that I will most likely get --'ed for it, but here goes:

I am using CGI.pm for (obviously) CGI and I have a script which needs to use the POST method to send data because it is a large amount of data and I don't want it in the url.

I use the CGI::ReadParse() method to parse the incoming data because I used CGI-lib for a long time prior to CGI.pm and am more used to it. However, everytime I have tried to use POST instead of GET with CGI.pm and the above mentioned method, none of the values are placed in the %in array! What is going on!!

Thanks for the help, it is grately appreciated!
