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 ?

(But it's not recommended...)

Why is it not recommended ?
