No. Don't do that. Please read the anlgform.pl file, the anlgform.html file, and
the documentation on the form interface in the Analog docs. Then read a little
about CGI scripting and security issues (NCSA's CGI tutorial is a good place to
start).
The Analog form interface is provided to cover a lot of potential security holes
that approaches like yours can make happen. You shouldn't put Analog in a CGI
directory because some severs will allow ANY command-line options to be passed
on. Your script will also produce invalid HTML (although your browser may render
it as you expect it too).
