in reply to Problem with getting POST request data with Apache::Request object

Please post a minimal working example that demonstrates the problem you are having. The reason for providing the minimal working example is that without it we will sometimes assume things about the other areas of the code that are incorrect.

Also, some additional context information would help. Are you running this as a script using Apache::Registry, or as a separate apache module? Please provide the relevant portion of your apache config file. For example: 

<Location /foo>
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::Registry
  Options +ExecCGI
  PerlSendHeader On
</Location>

    Here's the full program that i was trying to run and the HTML content. 

    use Apache::Request;
use CGI;

my $apr= Apache::Request->new(shift);
my $page = new CGI;

my $test=$apr->param('school');

print $page->header();

print("Post Data " . $test);

      Try this instead, see what happens: 
      my $test = $page->param('school');

      It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.

        Yes, I could access the POST data using the CGI object.
        That is,
        my $test = $page->param('school');
        gave me the result - 'test'.
