using CGI within Embperl

[Mark Dedlow <mt...@lbl.gov>]

I'm want to drop some existing code that uses CGI.pm into Embperl,
but Embperl grabs POST'ed data, so CGI doesn't have it.  By changing
my 'new CGI()' statements to 'new CGI(\%fdat);', my existing CGI-based
code seems to work as expected.  Is this the way other folks approach
the issue, or is there some other technique, perhaps some automagical
Embperl thing?

Hi,

Try porting your scripts to the Embperl "idiom", take a look at the
man page >perldoc HTML::Embperl. You will discover that Embperl is a
rich enviroment and you will be alot more productive.

To access the form fields in a Embperl page use the %fdat hash:
	$fdat{Name}	# CGI = param('Name');

Try adding 256 to your EMBPERL_OPTIONS:

         optDisableFormData = 256
             This option disables the setup of %fdat and @ffld.  Embperl
             will not do anything with the posted form data.  Set this
             when using Execute from your perl script and you have
             already read the Form Data (via eg. CGI.pm).

Cheers,
Gavin
