I am not to sure I know what you are trying to say, my cgi script is called with a post.
Do you have any examples of the way this would be written.
Thank you

my ($meth) = $ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} if defined($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'});
my (buffer);
if ($meth eq 'POST') {
   read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
}
foreach my $pair (split(/&/, $buffer)) {
   my ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
   # probably a lot of checks nedded here
   $::FORM{$name} = $value;
}
print "got= $::FORM{'x_Amount'} \n";
