Do you remember what that filehandle is? Also, it's not clear from the docus how you pass a filehandle to CGI or CGI::Simple if you know what it is. Or is that what your patch was for?

Anyway I suppose if I knew the filehandle I could just read and parse it manually and skip CGI.

UPDATE: I take it back: CGI::Simple Docs say "If you provide a file handle to the new() method, it will read parameters from the file (or STDIN, or whatever)." But I still need to know the filehandle.
