As I understand it, if you are receiving the data, cgi.pm is what you need,
and I use it in several programs that receive data. It's supposed to be
better than just using a read to content length.
However, if you are sending the data, posting, simulating submitting a
form, the post method of libwww is needed...
But I haven't been able to get the libwww post method to work either.
So maybe it is I who don't have a clue:)
Sincerely,
Mike
