Forum: Ruby I have a CGInquiry.

i'm using this example in BEGINNING RUBY of using a cgi code and got
this:

irb(main):002:0> #!/usr/bin/ruby
irb(main):003:0* require 'cgi'
=> true
irb(main):004:0> cgi = CGI.new
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

what am i supposed to do at this point. I can't proceed from here.

The exact same question has been answered just a couple of hours ago.

You can provide name-value pairs by entering things like `name=whatever'
and finish with CTRL-D. The provided parameters can then be used
in the script.
