in thread POST vs GET & their intermingling.
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
method (GET|POST)

while w3's spec saysstart_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
And find it mildly amusing that the default methods disagree. Which, it seems is often the case for web standards documents.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.
