Sorry, I posted the above in a hurry before I went to work, I therefore got the post and get methods mixed. I have tried both, post and get, and both give me empty data back.

Instead of your program, try something like this instead

#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use CGI; use Data::Dumper; #zum debuggen Main( @ARGV ); exit( 0 ); sub Main { my $cgi = CGI->new; print $cgi->header(); # Write HTTP header print $cgi->start_html, $cgi->b(rand time, ' ', scalar gmtime), '<table border="1" width="%100"><tr><td>', $cgi->Dump, '</td><td><div style="white-space: pre-wrap; overflow: scroll;">', $cgi->escapeHTML( Dumper( $cgi ) ), '</div></td></tr></table>', CGI->new( \%ENV )->Dump, $cgi->end_html; }

Reading the manual is fundamental
