here is our simple form, standard name address phone number
with our form with or post method and action
Code:
<html>
<head><meta name=vs_targetSchema content="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">[/URL]
</head>
<body>
    <form name="myForm" action="myPage.asp" method="post">
        <br />
        Enter your name:
        <input type="text" name="name" />
        <br />
        Enter your address:
        <input type="text" name="address" />
        <br />
        <br />
        Enter your phone number:
        <input type="text" name="phone" />
        <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset" form="form" />
        <br />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" form="form" />
        <br />
    </form>
    </body>
</html>
now after the client submits we on the server side collect by getting the values out of the form with the Request Object.

like so
Code:
$Request->Form('name')->item(1);

view it like you app is talking to someone,
like this:
app:Request?
smone:Request What?
app:the Form data.
smone:Got that, what piece do you want.
app:the piece with the name marked 'name' and the very first item within it.

so this is how we would pull the data from this form.
Code:
<%@ Language="PerlScript" %>
<%
my ($name, $address, $phone);

$name = $Request->Form('name')->item(1);

$address = $Request->Form('address')->item(1);

$phone = $Request->Form('phone')->item(1);

$Response->Write("$name \n $address \n $phone \n");
%>
