Hey everyone,
While tracing through the perl script file, I kept running into environment variable "REQUEST_METHOD".
Which is a little suspect, because you should be using CGI.pm or something better (not just similar) to hide the wrangling of the REQUEST_METHOD, etc.
I looked for where it was defined, yet no luck.
However, it works.
I think I am missing somethign here. I am guessing this variable is defined by
the Apache web server. Yet, I am not sure.
Nope not missing anything, you are correct Apache sets a number of environment variables that CGI programs can then wrangle however they so choose. The nice thing about CGI.pm is that it does this for you and provides a very clean Perl interface to it all.
Anyone see the same things?
This does depend on the server implementation......
