You should use the POST method instead of GET, and get the data on the
input stream instead of in the query string. Change

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/whatever.pl">

to

<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/whatever.pl" METHOD="POST">

in your HTML source.

If you're using the CGI module, or anything like it, you wont have to
change anything in your perl program.
