in thread Get input data from STDIN *and* query string

I hate CGI.pm, i much prefer doing things manually,

Learn to love modules. I prefer doing things manually, but I don't prefer making mistakes by hand. You don't have to use the HTML functions of CGI.pm, for example.

whats so bad about that code, anyway?

Ovid has collected some examples of exploits that would injure code just like that. See his online CGI course at: http://www.easystreet.com/~ovid/cgi_course/

    Don't get my wrong, modules are one of the many things that make Perl so great, i would just rather do CGI code myself, thats all. but i will check that site out, interested in security risks.. thanks
