Module to parse form... 1

[perlone]

Is it just me or all my form just don't parse. I use the standard code:

read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}

Is there any simple module that parse no matter what? I'll also check the cpan but if any of you know any other, just let me know. Thanks.

Use the CGI.pm module. It is the most common module used for CGI applications. goBoating has written several FAQ's on how to use the module (some other people might have as well, his just stick out in my mind).

You can go to CPAN and download it. It's quite a bit of code written by Lincoln Stein.

Hope this helps.

also, for doing it yourself, the variable "$ENV{REQUEST_METHOD}" will help you out (which will be either "GET" or "POST&quot. "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."
