POST sends a request and sets some CGI params.  GET can be used to do
the same thing, but you need to append a ?foo=bar&baz=wally to the
url, if you want to send data to a CGI.  If it's not a CGI, though I
suggest using GET ;)

I think you need a bit of HTTP and CGI background.  I suggest reading
through CGI Programming With Perl (O'Reilly & Associates - www.oreilly.com)

Hope this helps,
