Arrrrgh! You'r right this is THE reason !! the CGI->init method eat all the
POST data !! Is this documented anywhere ? Couldn't this be in the mod_perl
Guide or FAQ ?

I liked the CGI functions to generate HTML ... it seems there is no simple
way to tell CGI module not to eat POST data. HTML::StickyForms could be an
option for forms ... the others (Template, Mason) are not for what I'm trying
to do. I'm just looking for a simple but complete html generator (instead of
hard coding all html tags in my code), does such a beast exists or have I to
write my own?
thanks a lot for you answers.
