I'm trying to pipe data from this url

http://parazen.bio.indiana.edu/me/monks.html
to this url
http://parazen.bio.indiana.edu/cgi-bin/monks.pl

I'm using GET to transfer the information. However, I can't seem to preserve the carriage returns. How do I do this?

The following is wrapped in |code| tags but it doesn't seem to shrink it. Also sorry about the anonymous post. I don't know why it did that.

getParamaters();


$data = $getParam{'hand_history'};

  print "$data <br>";


sub getParamaters{
  if ($ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'} > 0) {
      # read POST data from STDIN
      print "READING POST DATA\n";
      read STDIN, $temp, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'};
      # add in the GET data:
      $temp.="&".$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} if length <br>$ENV{'QUERY_STRING
+'};
  } else {
      # read only the GET data
      #print "READING GET DATA\n<br>";
      $temp=$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
  }

  # separate each keyword
  foreach ( split( /&/, $temp ) ) {
      # separate the keys and values
      ( $key, $val ) = split( /=/, $_, 2 );

      # translate + to spaces
      $key=~s/\+/ /g;
      $val=~s/\+/ /g;

      # translate %xx codes to characters
      $key=~s/%([0-9a-f]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/gie;
      $val=~s/%([0-9a-f]{2})/pack("c",hex($1))/gie;
      $getParam{$key} = $val;

}
