Hey, Im trying to get lighttpd working with CGI::Fast, im using the following dispatch-script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI::Fast;
use Embed::Persistent;
{
    my $p = Embed::Persistent->new();
    while (new CGI::Fast) {
        my $filename = $ENV{SCRIPT_FILENAME};
        my $package = $p->valid_package_name($filename);
        my $mtime;
        if ($p->cached($filename, $package, \$mtime))
        {
            eval {$package->handler;};
        }
        else
        {
            $p->eval_file($ENV{SCRIPT_FILENAME});
        }
    }
}

and this test-script: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use CGI ':all';

my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header();
print $q->param();
print '

 <form action="test.fcgi" method="post">

        <input type="hidden" name="test" value="test"> 
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="okay">
 </form>
';

running under normal perl the script prints test, but invoced trough the dispatcher script it seems to ignore POST-data. Any ideas why this is not working? regards fmk
