Raw Input


The httpd server can pass us information through standard input or an environment variable. (see web-exe.pl via http://www.stars.com/) 

  if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq GET){
    $RawInput = $ENV{QUERY_STRING} || $DefaultTitle;
    $RawInput =~ s/^($LinkPattern)/$DefaultRequest=$1/; 
  } 

  if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} eq POST){
    read(STDIN, $RawInput, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH});
  }
