Cgi.pm process POST & GET

[Matt Churchyard]

Hello,

I am writing an application which passes a session id
around on the querystring. This works fine until I submit
a form, at which point the current session is dropped and a
new one is created.

I presume this is because CGI.pm only processes the POST data
and not the query string when its gets a POST request. Is there any
way of forcing CGI.pm to always process the query string?.

Thanks,
Matt

"perldoc CGI" explains how to do that, it's under the
headline "MIXING POST AND URL PARAMETERS". The
short answer is: use url_param() instead of param()
to read the parameters given via GET in a mixed
request. But plz read the docs as well :)
