I am using a script to pass post data to another html page that uses SSI (exec cgi) to call a perl script. My problem is I am not grabing the post data, since this is the first time I have done this and my google searching is not helping much I thought I would ask here. The perl code is this: 
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
use strict;
use DBI;
use CGI qw~:standard~;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my ($DBH, $STH, @Address, $Contact);
$Contact = param('Contact');
$DBH = DBI -> connect ('dbi:ODBC:SQLServer', ' ', ' ') or die "$DBI::e
+rrstr";
$STH = $DBH -> prepare (qq~select ContactAddress from dbo.ContactAddre
+ss where ID = '$Contact'~) or die "$DBI::errstr";
$STH -> execute or die "$DBI::errstr";
@Address = $STH -> fetchrow_array();
$DBH -> disconnect;
print "$Contact";
print qq~<a href="mailto:$Address[0]>$Address[0]</a>~;
