Hello Stefan:
Yes. I would suspect that you are better off hand-rolling your
own cgi decoding. I also believe that your data object will be
mangled by decode-cgi if you have data or field names will
embedded spaces.
I could send you mine if you wish. Just give me
a holler if that's what you want. My cgi library anticipates a few
other gotchas too....
