Ian,  thanks for the reply, but that is not what I need to do.  Inside
foo.cgi how can I parse out the values given in the URL?

So if you visit: http://www.somesite.com/cgi-bin/foo.cgi?valA=1&valB=2
.....I want the script, foo.cgi to print out the parameters and their
values.  It's dynamic so the values are url wont be the same all the
time.  How do i get the URL from the script?  does this make sense?

So I'm thinking foo.cgi will look like
[code]
url = getTheFullURL()
parse(url)

def parse(url):
    # parse the parameter names and values
[/code]
