under the attribute the w3 spec lists :
method (GET|POST)
I inferred (ass-u-me-d:) ) that to properly submit data, you should only use one or the other, discounting the idea that someone could read in the url to retrieve GET data.
On a side note, I see that CGI.pm says
start_form() will return a <FORM> tag with the optional method, action
+ and form encoding that you specify. The defaults are:
method: POST
action: this script
enctype: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
while w3's spec says
method = get|post [CI]
This attribute specifies which HTTP method will be used to submit the
+form data set. Possible (case-insensitive) values are "get" (the defa
+ult) and "post". See the section on form submission for usage informa
+tion.
And find it mildly amusing that the default methods disagree. Which, it seems is often the case for web standards documents.

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).
