I'm using the following snippet of code to put all form data passed into a hash table.
$form_data_size = $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}; read (STDIN, $form_data, $form_data_size); @info_returned = split (/&/,$form_data); foreach $keyvalue (@info_returned) { ($key, $value) = split(/=/, $keyvalue); $value =~ tr/+/ /; $value =~ s/%([\dA-Fa-f][\dA-Fa-f])/pack("C",hex($1))/eg; $pairs{$key} = $value; } is there a way to build a url that will pass data that is then parsed out into a hash table. what I want to do is be able to have a regular link on a webpage that points to this one and also passes a parameter to it. this code sample works fine if I use a form on the referring page to pass my info, but that's not what I want.
