%_POST VARIABLE
---------------

  -----------
  DESCRIPTION
  -----------

    The %_POST variable stores HTML form data submitted via the POST method.
    %_POST is a hash/associative array which stores POST data in name=value
    pairs in the following format:

      %_POST = (
        field1 => 'value1',
        field2 => 'value2',
        field3 => 'value3'
      );

    The %_POST keys (input field names) can be accessed as a list (array) with
    Perl's "keys" command like so:

      @field_names = keys %_POST;

    The field values can be accessed by referencing the specific name of the
    requested field:

      $field_value = $_POST{'field1'};

    Notice that when referencing a specific field value, the '%' is changed to a
    '$' when referencing the hash, as you are referencing a specific value and
    not the entire hash.

  USAGE EXAMPLES
  --------------

    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example 1: Showing the Value of a POST Field using the DISPLAY Tag
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example 2: Showing All the Fields using the DO and DISPLAY Tags and a Loop
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

      <? foreach $field (keys %_POST) { ?>
        The value of the <?= $field ?> field is <?= $_POST{$field} ?>.<br>
      <? } ?>
