This module is a very lightweight parser of CGI forms. And it has a special feature that it will return an array if the same key is used twice in the form. You can force an array even if only one value returned to avoid complications. The hash %cgi_data will have all the form data from either a POST or GET form and will also work for "multipart/form-data" forms necessary for uploading files.
