Hi all,

As a Perl Newbie I just felt more comfortable processing form variables using the 
method I'm most comfortable with

As Jenda pointed out in a previous post that this is not the best method.

> #read STDIN, $PostData, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'};

> #print "post data =$PostData<br>";

> #postdata will look like this
> #[EMAIL PROTECTED]&radAction=unsubscribe&rad
> #Format=html&Submit=Submit I need to extract from this string the
> #fields and their values
> my @fields = split( /\&/, $PostData);
>

Please don't do this. The query/posted data parsing is not as simple 
as it seems. You are much safer if you 
use CGI;

O'k Im willing to learn are there any instructions on using the use CGI module for 
processing form variables. please.
