GET and POST do not in any way add to the readability of Perl code. I can't think of anywhere that you would want to actually code a GET, since it is the default mode for browser requests. It should not be used for CGI, though for reasons that have already been stated. The POST belongs in your HTML, not in your Perl code. Your variable names should reflect the subject matter they are dealing with, not nuts-and-bolts technical detail. > That and I am learning > from the O'Reilly book CGI Programming With Perl and they use their own > parsers for form data.

If you are studying cause and effect in programming, then all means continue your experiments in hand-rolling, being ready to discard your prototypes oce you have learned enough from them. > -Dan What is it you are trying to do?
