Running the Final Version

Now that all our coding is done (the final coded version of this example can be found in the supplied program samples as a console project called urldump. This is the command line we will use to try out the new features:

Example 4.5. Sample Command

urldump.smp "wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~jbs/aw-wwwp/docs/resources/perl/
  perl-cgi/programs/cgi_stdin.cgi" --showheader "--vars=name=Joe&
  textarea=Cool&radiobutton=middleun&checkedbox=pizza&
  selectitem=hamburgers"

Note

	Note
The URL in the previous command was found while searching on the Internet. It may or may not be there forever, but it is greatly appreciated for providing an opportunity to test the `POST` operation in this program. Eventually we may produce a sample program running from our own web site but anticipate the likely web load of a few people trying this out will not greatly inconvenience the university site.
