CGI spec is very clear. You have an URL, and you have the data coming with
the request. URL is defined in URL RFC and can contain "?" part. The
CGI.pm doesn't support all possible modes - OK, so author of CGI.pm should
fix it to support 100% of the standard. Or CGI.pm would be lacking support
of some part of the standard.
GO>> REQUEST_METHOD suggest a particular interpretation. So if I had had to
REQEST_METHOD contains just the HTTP method (GET/POST/whatever) that
server has got. It doesn't dictate what should be done with URL and the
data.
