CGI question: Getting form name to cgi script

[ronnie gauthier]

Why should the serve care what the form name is. Why should it need to
know. 
If you need to get the form name to the script use a hidden tag.

Trying to transfer a file requires the use of the correct
enctype="multipart/form-data" in the <form> tag.

If you are not using it look at CGI.pm, makes form use and html output
as well as keeping state a bit easier.
