in thread making a difference between POST parameters and URL parameters

Well, if it's a POST query, param() will only get you POST params.

You can get GET params by instancing another CGI object like this:

my $get = CGI->new($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});

Example:

use strict;
use warnings "all";
use CGI;

my $post= CGI->new;
my $get = CGI->new($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});

my $foo_from_post = $post->param('foo');
my $foo_from_get  = $get->param('foo');

    Or you could RTFM and use the url_param() method of the existing object instead.
