halfcountplus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to test a script using CGI qw(:standard) the same way I would test this: 
echo "field1=whatever&field2=something%else" | thescript.cgi

[download]
This works with a cgi script that does not use the module and manually parses STDIN. However, the CGI module uses the QUERY_STRING environment variable. How can I set this to test the script outside of apache?
