   i don't know what i'm doing wrong, but the

following code outputs

‘before’ and never outputs ‘after’. it seems to be stuck
in CGI.new.
does anyone know what might be the problem here?

It’s trying to read name=value pairs on standard input.

Use Control-D (^D) on un*x or ^Z (???) on windows, to close
the input.

Thanks Guy,
i just found that there’s even a message sent to the standard output saying
“(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)”
the problem was that i was running ‘compile’ from emacs instead of from a shell and never saw this message at all.

Ctrl-D and Ctrl-Z both don't work(i'm on ms windows). i don't know why. 
Neither do they work on cygwin. so now i'm testing the script by creating a file with the input and redirecting standard input to that file.

Did you type ENTER after Ctrl-Z?
