Parseform question

[Westonm]

I am using the subroutine parseform to parse out form input and insert it into a table. My service provider recently upgraded their server and probably software and I am now having a problem with several programs. Most I have been able to figure out but I still have one problem that is kicking my butt. On the entry form there are a couple of date fields where a user would enter something like 10/10/1944. When it gets parsed and inserted it becomes 10%2F10%2F1944. I think this is probably something in the parseform routing that is not recognizing the "/". The parseform I am using is:

sub Parse_Form {
if ($ENV{'REQUEST_ METHOD'} eq 'GET') {
@pairs = split(/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STR ING'});
} elsif ($ENV{'REQUEST_ METHOD'} eq 'POST') {
read (STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_L ENGTH'});
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);

if ($ENV{'QUERY_ST RING'}) {
@getpairs = split(/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STR ING'});
push(@pairs,@ge tpairs);
}
} else {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<P>Use Post or Get";
}
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($key, $value) = split (/=/, $pair);
$key =~ tr/+/ /;
$key =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9] [a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9] [a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$value =~ s/<!--(.|\n)*-->//g;
if ($formdata{key} ) {
$formdata{$key} .= ", $value";
} else {
$formdata{$key} = $value;
}
}
}
1;

Does anyone have any ides how I can correct this?
