If I pass parameters in this fashion, the web server will make them available in QUERY_STRING, but I need to use the GET method. The form is using the POST method so that the file that is being uploaded and processed gets handed to the cgi program through stdin. So looks like I can't have it both ways, i.e. POST and GET, stdin and query string env var. Thanks, JB
