RE: CGI object already instantiated?

You're doing way too much work. The CGI::new method will only read the POST data by default. If you specify another source of data, it won't read the POST data at all.

Try this:

    my $cgi = CGI->new({});

This tells CGI to make a new query object using the data from the anonymous hash you passed. Since there isn't any data, you get a new, empty query.

See the documentation for the CGI::new method for more complete information.

It's also amazing how I could use the wrong browser and fail to log in. The new "Mark Dominus Approved" ;) method: `sub new { my $class = $_[0]; my $cgi = CGI->new({}); my $objref = { _active => 1, _border => 1, _continue => 0, _cgi => $cgi, _pretty_not_installed => 0 }; bless $objref, $class; return $objref; }` [download] Much simpler, much easier, no headaches.
