Get form input values via their ID tag in Perl

[Rick Bull]

I'm new to perl and I wrote a basic form parser library that extracts any form name/value pairs and returns them via a hash (attached, renamed from .lib to .txt). This works fine for form inputs with the NAME attribute, but using XHTML I want to replace NAME with ID. Is there anyway I can do it?


Here is the Perl file that extracts the arguments:

#/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
require "form_data.lib";

my %data = &parseForm;
my $loopItem;
print "content-type:text/plain\n\n";
foreach $loopItem (keys %data) {
  print "$loopItem = $data{$loopItem}\n";
}
