Greetings Perl-Gurus;
I'm trying to learn how to append data via the "GET" command within a HTML
form used on the command line < Form Action = "/www/cgi-bin/" Method="GET">
Now the way I understand this is that after I submit data via the HTML form
the GET via this
command line;ie < Form Action = "/www/cgi-bin/" Method="GET"> calls my
below CGI script
and its suppose to create a HTML form file to be displayed with the appended
data from the below example URL string
URL =
candidate=Juan+Amore&position=Technician&education=Professional+Certificatio
n&RESULT_FileUpload-7=&RESULT_TextArea-8=&Submit=Submit>
Any examples on this section?
Best Rgds

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Copy form data from the environment variable
$form_data = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
$form_data =~ s/%([\dA-Fa-f][\dA-Fa-f])/pack ("C",hex ($1))/eg;
# Replace the + char with space char.
$form_data =~ s/\+/ /g;
# Split $form_data into name/value pairs
@fields = split (/&/, $form_data);
# Init script variables with form data values
# $form_name is the name from the form.
# from the text fields...
($form_name, $candidate) = split (/=/, $fields[0]);
($form_name, $position) = split (/=/, $fields[1]);
($form_name, $education) = split (/=/, $fields[2]);
$form_name > dataform.html
# Send back to the user a confirmation.
