It's a sub, when called in a script(that requires it) that will parse your forums or URL what have you.

Do not use ReadParse. Its old, its outdated, and unmaintained.
It is not up to spec any more. In fact you shouldn't use cgi-lib.pl at all, not just readparse.
CGI.pm is the way to go.

Greg, reiterating what you said with more explanation IS stating that you're right

"Funny i never hear Mastermind's right from anyone...."  Because we are not used to it from you, Greg. *ducks*

Can someone enlighten me as to why cgi-lib.pl is out of date now?
I've always used it with my scripts.

Best to read it right from Tom Christiansen (one of THE main Perl guys) himself in this article from a while back. --mark
