Re: GET overriding POST?

I don't dable in cgi very often, but it was my understanding that you use either get or post, and can't use both. If a get string is there, the post is ignored. I think typically it goes like this:

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "GET") {
$form_data = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
} else {
$form_data = <STDIN>;

So as soon as that query string is detected, the method is set to GET, and it will override the POST.

No POST overrides GET and the GET is visible as urlparam() from CGI.pm anyway so you can use both.	[reply]
