Thanks for replying. I frame around Kelley Blue Book for a car dealer. The 
data is entered into KBB's page. They hit a submit button and KBB sends the 
data back to a page I specify. They say the data is sent to the data buffer 
and that I am to retrieve it from there.

I tried to research this. All I could come up with is that, apparently, the 
way it's done in perl is:
 >>>
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}
<<<
Your help (and anyone else' !) is appreciated.
