Xitami parses form values into the Environment with the prefix "POST_"
(this can be configured).
Perl lets you read the Environment in an array called $ENV{}. Note the
curly-braces... in some fonts they look like parenthesis, but aren't!
If the form has fields named "name" and "gender", use this to print the
values:
print "Name $ENV{FORM_name}\n";
print "Gender $ENV{FORM_gender}\n";
Instead of "print", you can assign to variables and do something else.
