Before anyone rips me for not using CGI, I want to let it be known that I am unable to use CGI for this application due to the server I will be using it on. I am using CGI::CARP on the server I am testing it on to try to find my problems. I am trying to Post some information to the CGI, but I get a software error. It appears if I am not reading the Post correctly. The form is located stuffy's form and the code is below

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

read (STDIN,my($temp), $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
my (@pairs) =split(/&/,$temp);
my($item) = "";
foreach $item(@pairs) {
        my($key,$content) =split (/=/, $item, 2);
        $content=~tr/+/ /;
        $content=~s/%(..)/pack("c",hex($1))/ge;
        my($fields{$key})=$content;
}

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<HTML>\n";
print "<HEAD>\n";
print "<TITLE>This is a test of the stuffy perl network</TITLE>\n";
print "</HEAD>\n";
print "<BODY>\n";       
print "$fields{tool}\n";
print "$fields{month}\n";
print "$fields{date}, $fields{month}\n";
print "</BODY>\n</HTML>";

I'm sure this is an easy problem, just something I'm overlooking. If so, please go easy on me, I'm a newbie.

In reply to variables not posting? by stuffy

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
