x-www-form-urlencoded

Ok, thanks. I've seen that and pretty much anything similar that can be found with Startpage.com. I can get the environment variables with FCGI no problem.

...
HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE = application/x-www-form-urlencoded
...

I'm still left wondering how to get at the form data. I'd like the FCGI equivalent of ->params from old, slow CGI to get the idea behind FCGI.

use CGI;

my $q = CGI->new;

# Process an HTTP request
my @values  = $q->multi_param('form_field');

my $value2  = $q->param('param2_name');

It has to be Fast CGI because that is the API used by nginx and OpenBSD's httpd.

heh, use CGI ; its magic like that

d'oh. That was what I was missing. CGI can be used with CGI::Fast.

...
use CGI::Fast;
use CGI qw(:standard);

"d'oh..."

BTW, how it was done in the past might be of interest.
