Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Perl, so asking here. Actually I'm using FCGI with Perl.

I need to 1. accept a POST request -> 2. send it via POST to another url -> 3. get results -> 4. return results to the first POST request (4 steps).

To accept a POST request (step 1) I use the following code (found it somewhere in the Internet):

```
$ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/;
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST") {
    read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
}
else {
    print ("some error");
}

@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
    ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
    $value =~ tr/+/ /;
    $value =~ s/%(..)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
    $FORM{$name} = $value;  
}

```

The content of `$name` (it's a string) is the result of the first step. Now I need to send `$name` via POST request to some\_url (step 2) which returns me another result (step 3), which I have to return as a result to the very first POST request (step 4).

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
