GO>> I actually side with CGI.pm, because I don't think it's behaving GO>> unreasonably. The CGI specs seems vague on this point, but the variable 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. GO>> write those scripts from scratch myself, I would have done them GO>> the same way. That's not good enough argument. I'm firm in believing that standard is for implementing it in its entirety, not for thinking "maybe nobody never uses it, so we just drop it". OK, so I'm a perfectionist. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
