> This seems kind of silly. Can anyone explain to me why this is? Because if you do :
use CGI qw(param); - It will work - Implemented the same in every script in every server - people will understand what you're doing - it's reusable over and over and over - it's platform independant - can still create the hashes you want (for whatever reason you need that, why would you btw?) If you do some home brewed parsing (Like we did back in the day) It ends up: - Breaks easily - May need implemented differently on different servers - Hard to maintain - Recreating the wheel over and over and over. - Not portable - can create the hashes you want but how do you know you're getting the actual form input or some butchery of improperly encoded/unencoded That's a just a little input, I'm sure there's lots more than that but I'm busy. If you explain why you need the %POST and %GET hashes specifically maybe we can help you do it the best way. So whjat are you trying to accomplish with those hashes?
