    simple answer? it can't. however, if you set your form to submit to a port *other* than 80, you can setup a daemon on that port to handle the information, which could be interpreted as "a socket getting the contents". of course, why you would want to do this, i can't imagine... why do you want to play around with sockets to get the contents of a POSTed form? why not just read it into a nice lil' hash?
