mpolo,

In my last job, we used a canned cgi script for doing all cgi's at the University.

The way that it worked, was the users would send us the pertinant information, which we would dump into a config file. The user then would build their html page, referencing the formhandler. The data would then be submitted to the formhandler, which would look up the info in the config file and process accordingly.

It was nice, because the script was fairly hardended, plus we were able to eliminate rogue/sloppy cgi scripts from being written and propagated.

As the script is quite old (written in 96), and very long, I don't want to post it. But if you are interested in seeing the source for reference, /msg me w/ an email address and I can send it to you.
