Not sure what you are doing below, if you set up apache so that files with a
certain extension execute through the cgi and not the module, then you can
pass them through a form with GET/POST.
If you are running it from the command line, then...
I don't know.
All arguments should be passed as argv or argc, so you could write a test
script that spits out argv and argc and see what the script saw. Then you
have to manually parse out command line options in your script.
How to process data
remove all '-'
Split on whitespace to get key=value entities
Split on '=' into key/value pairs
That's how I would attack it at first, and then go from there.
