Hans, it wouldn't take much at all to make a CGIParse
wrapper that wouldn't "care" if it was GET or POST.  As a
matter of fact, the CGIDEV2 kit does this.  And, it also
allows you to retrieve mutliple values for the same field,
and it doesn't need to use the CGIParse API to do this,
which was brilliant in my opinion.  Before we could use
CGIParse, there wasn't an easy way to do this.  But, CGIDEV2
had the capability.

The tools you're used to using happen to have system/other
developers that add all these cool things.  We must do it
ourselves because there is not as much exposure/support.
Doesn't make one better than the other, but, it does mean
anything that is done with one CGI language can be done with
any of them, pretty much.
