Forms that Work - The POST Method

Make a change to the previous form.

In the HTML file change the line that says

<form name='mysurvey' action='cgi-bin/mysurvey.pl' method='get'>

to

<form name='mysurvey' action='cgi-bin/mysurvey2.pl' method='post'>

Now change the number words allowed for the Meaning of Life question from 10 to 100.

Save the html file.

In the cgi file change the line that says
$formdata=$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; to
$formdata=<STDIN>;
Save your script as mysurvey2.pl.

Run your html file, fill out the form and resubmit it.

Not very exciting but the reason we changed Methods is associated with the number of words allowed in the Meaning of Life field.
