[ale] More on name=value

If you use GET, I would use this:

##################################################
@pairs = split(/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});  
foreach $pair (@pairs)   
{  
      ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);  
      $value =~ tr/+/ /;  
      $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;  
      $value =~ s/<!--(.|\n)*-->//g;  
      $value =~ s/<([^>]|\n)*>//g;  
      $FORM{$name} = $value;  
} 
###################################################
#http://www.mysite/cgi-bin/test.pl?value=15
print "$FORM{'value'}\n": 	#Would print 15
