 You've lost me here.

 First of all, are we talking about HTML::Embperl::Execute, or are you
 actually running a program that you want to have read parameters from
 STDIN?

 POST certainly sets %fdat normally.  And the values are available to
 any Embperl::Execute subroutines directly.

Quote from Gerald:

Embperl passes the URL parameters in %fdat. That's what it always did. Only
if you have POST data (from a form) and URL parameters, you only get the
POST data in %fdat

Ah. Right. I've never been able to determine from any spec what is supposed to be done if there is both POST *and* GET data. Just taking the POST seems as good as any solution.

Yes, I'm using HTML::Embperl::Execute.  How do I pass URL parameters to it
just like it was receiving data from a browser?  Do I just :

[- Execute "/www/htdocs/page.epl?key=$value" -]

That's what I was trying to say with my hurried example. From the documentation it looks like you should be able to say:

Execute({ inputfile => "/www/htdocs/page.epl", $fdat => {key => $value}, $ffld -> ['key']});

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
