When using POST method, the form args normally come from STDIN (although
you can also have args in QUERY_STRING if you specify them after a ? on
the ACTION tag). So you have to read STDIN to get normal POST args.
read (STDIN, my $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}) if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST');
should get your args into $buffer. CONTENT_LENGTH tells how many bytes
there are on STDIN to read. I usually append a '&' and the contents of
QUERY_STRING to $buffer to get all of the args in one place.
