Ok, lets try this question again. I have data that is being sent to me via http POST. The data will contain &lt;code&gt;&amp;;&lt;/code&gt;, and it will not be escaped. There will also be no parameter name passed. I've looked it up, and because the content-type is text/xml, this &lt;b&gt;IS&lt;/b&gt; exactly how it is suppost to be sent. They aren't sending it as a file attachment either. 

&lt;p&gt;Now everyone repeate after me &amp;lt;chant&amp;gt;I can't change the input, I can't change the input, I can't change the input&amp;lt;/chant&amp;gt;.

&lt;p&gt;My questions now: &lt;br&gt;Can it be done with CGI.pm?
&lt;br&gt;If it can, how?
&lt;br&gt;If it can't, should it be something that is added to CGI.pm, or should another module be created to handle this?
&lt;p&gt;I hope my intent in this post is clearer then it was in the [CGI.pm problems|last post].
&lt;p&gt;P.S. Thanks [perrin] &amp; [CMonster].</field>
