That's what I thought too, that's why I asked where STDIN was coming from.
Always a bad idea to parse the input yourself because, as you found,
Different OS/perl versions/protocals/etc... May need different parseing
Methods.
But CGI is modular and platform independent and quite easy to use ::
Perldoc -m CGI
Or search.cpan.org
use CGI qw/:standard/;
$monkey = param('monkey');
$joemama = param('joemama');
print header();
print "Hello $monkey - Thanks for filling out my html form and by the way : $joemama";
