I'm not sure; however, I have used it to receive multi-line data from a
textarea field through a POST operation, with success.

Actually, that bit took me a while to make work; given that POST is just
GET strings on stdin instead of via QUERY_STRING, I was rather surprised
that my tests worked on command-line but not for real CGIs. Either way, the
script as-presented now works.
