Hi. I'm running the following code, it's not working how I want.

HTML Form:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="cgitest.pl" method="POST" enctype="application/x-www-for
+m-urlencoded">
<input type="text" id="txtInput">
<br>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $cgi = CGI->new;
my $txtInput = $cgi->param('txtInput');
warn $txtInput;
print $cgi->header();
print $cgi->start_html('Testing');
print $cgi->h1($txtInput);
print $cgi->end_html;

How can I deal with getting form input, so that it's not posted on the query string?
