Is there a comparable snippet of code to received any data from a form without a parsing routine..??
That makes no sense. The data from the form is sent as an HTTP request, which itself is sent as a bunch of bytes. Parsing means giving meaning to those bytes. You can't have the form data without parsing the request.
My best guess is that you want to get the name of the submitted fields. If so, you can get those using my @names = $cgi->params()my @names = $cgi->param().
