in thread Calling a radio button to the second cgi script

My hosting server logs include all the parameter lists in the requested URLs by default. It doesn't take that much space.

Update: The default apache install on OS X will also show the parameter list in the log if you change the POST to a GET. You don't want to leave it that way, but it can be useful for debugging. It indeed sends only one word values, as pointed out in several replies now.

Sounds like a lot of wasted physical and mental effort

The OP has perl cgi program that compiles and runs -- time to stop fooling around with webserver configuration and logfiles and start debugging the application.

Simply call DebugCGI and read the webpage

    tail -f /var/log/apache2/access_log

    And you can watch what the webserver is receiving. Hardly effort, and often useful.

      Not really

      • assumes a shell
      • assumes aforementioned changes to html file
      • assumes aforementioned changes to cgi file
      • requires a human to interpret raw URLs with his mind

      If OP was able to do all this when you suggested it, then the OP wouldn't need help debugging this

      Basically its bad advice.
