RE: RE: RE: Get those parameters without CGI.pm

He implied how to improve it, delete it and use CGI.pm. One way to become a better programmer is to not reinvent wheels which already roll.

And what if I need to do something similar, but can't use CGI.pm to do it? There's obviously some way it could be better. But apparently, no one knows how. Thanks for the help.

Sorry. That just doesn't make sense. CGI.pm is included in all recent (from 5.0 onwards, I believe) perl distributions. Even if it isn't included (at which point you should fire your sysadmin) you can still use it.

You should take a look here. You can always use CGI.pm.

[KM]

Don't give a 'what if'. Tell us what you need to do that is similar. You need to parse QUERY_STRING in a 'similar' way? Maybe you want to URI decode the string, CGI.pm does that (and other modules, too). Use CPAN, grasshopper.

I don't currently need to do something similar. I'm working on my skills for when I will need to. And it might not be CGI, so using CGI.pm wouldn't be all that useful.
