Use POST method instead.

Make sure you have your cgi script setup to parse the POST info rather than the GET info (which is what you have right now). Or you could have it parse both.

let's say you have a for with: <input type="text" name="asdf">

if you use the get method (put 'method="GET"'
in the <form> tag) the $request{asdf} would be that sting. If you use the POST method $INPUT{asdf} would hold the data.
