Re: STDIN not working, STDIN hanging

If you really want to reinvent the wheel, you can read the query string as follows:

my $query;
my $req_method = $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD};
    
if ($req_method eq 'POST') {
    read STDIN, $query, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH};     # <--
} elsif ($req_method eq 'GET') {
    $query = $ENV{QUERY_STRING};
}

(But it's not recommended...)

2010-07-01 Your example worked, and when I replaced, `read STDIN, $query, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}; # <--` [download] with, `$query=<STDIN>; # <--` [download] it also worked, only when it was loaded directly, but when a form was sent to it, it did the continuous load. Works when loaded directly, Continuous when form sent to it... `#! perl my $query; my $req_method = $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD}; if ($req_method eq 'POST') { $query=<STDIN>; print $query; # <-- } # END` [download] Works when loaded directly, Continuous when form sent to it... `#! perl my $query; if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq 'POST') { $query=<STDIN>; print $query; # <-- } # END` [download] One question is, why did it not work before, when the form was method="post" -- Your response indicates that <STDIN> handles POST... `if ($req_method eq 'POST') {$query=<STDIN>;}` [download] and $ENV{QUERY_STRING} handles GET... `elsif ($req_method eq 'GET') {$query = $ENV{QUERY_STRING};}` [download] Did it have anything to do with sockets as the previous response indicates ?

Your example worked,

and when I replaced,

    read STDIN, $query, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH};     # <--
[download]

with,

    $query=<STDIN>;     # <--
[download]

it also worked, only when it was loaded directly, but when a form was sent to it, it did the continuous load.

Works when loaded directly,
Continuous when form sent to it...

#! perl

my $query;
my $req_method = $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD};
    
if ($req_method eq 'POST') {
    $query=<STDIN>; print $query;    # <--
}

# END
[download]

Works when loaded directly,
Continuous when form sent to it...

#! perl

my $query;
    
if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq 'POST') {
    $query=<STDIN>; print $query;    # <--
}

# END
[download]

One question is, why did it not work before, when the form was method="post" --

Your response indicates that <STDIN> handles POST...

    if ($req_method eq 'POST') {$query=<STDIN>;}
[download]

and $ENV{QUERY_STRING} handles GET...

    elsif ($req_method eq 'GET') {$query = $ENV{QUERY_STRING};}
[download]

Why is it not recommended ?
