I have a form on an html page with name-value pairings tacked onto it so action="somescript.pl?name1=value1&name2=value2...". In the form tags I have a submit button and 1 text field. In the perl script that is the action value for this form I try and grab the values passed back from the form using a CGI object. How can I easily get the name-value pairings to use in my script? Apparently the CGI object I'm using isn't picking up the name-values that were included with the action? I'm using this particular CGI object to grab all the values I need from the form that submitted. I'm pretty much wondering the "best" way to do this (as I do have a few ideas on doing it but would like to hear suggestions on the best way to achieve it). Thanks.
