How about even more simply and efficiently
using methods provided by CGI.pm ...
my %input = CGI::Vars;
While it works, Vars was really intended for compatability with the old cgi-lib.pl library, and so such shares the same quirks, like null (\0) seperated values for any multi-valued parameters.
Instead, I'd use CGI's Dump method...
-
Dumping Out All The Name/Value Pairs
-
The Dump() method produces a string consisting of
all the query's name/value pairs formatted nicely
as a nested list. This is useful for debugging
purposes:
print $query->Dump
Produces something that looks like this:
<UL>
<LI>name1
<UL>
<LI>value1
<LI>value2
</UL>
<LI>name2
<UL>
<LI>value1
</UL>
</UL>
