CGI::param,arg,content

[Konstantin Yotov <ko...@yahoo.com>]

Hello! :)

I read in the mod_perl, that arg is more fast than
CGI::param, but when I try to use it I can get form
date only when use method GET. I try this:
%param = $r->method eq 'post' ? $r->content :
$r->args;
But without a success. Please give me some advice.
Thank you.

The $r->args method only works for GET requests. You need to use
$r->content to grab the parameters passed in with the POST method.

The Eagle book has a good example of a catch-all:

	my %params;
	my @args = ($r->args, $r->content);
	while(my($name, $value) = splice @args,0,2) {
	  push @{$params{$name}}, $value;
        }

The result is a hash (%params) of lists which contains all the name-value 
pair data.

That should be my %params = $r->method eq 'POST' ? $r->content : $r->args;
(note the upper case).

Anyway, you probably want to look into Apache::Request, which is a mod_perl 
replacement for CGI.pm (although without all the HTML generation features).
