    I'm trying to implement a WAP Push Protocol Gateway, using Push Access
    Protocol over HTTP, and I'm having problems.

    Ignoring all the buzzwords, my CGI program receives a post something
    like:

    POST /cgi-bin/wap_push.cgi HTTP/1.1
    Host: www.wireless-network.com
    Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 18:13:23 GMT
    Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary=asdf; type="application/xml"
    Content-Length: 353

    --asdf
    Content-Type: application/xml
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE pap PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD PAD 2.0//EN"
      "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/pap_2.0.dtd"
      [<?wap-pap-ver supported-version="2.0,1.*"?>]>
    <pap>
    ..control...
    </pdp>
    --asdf
    ..content entity ..
    --asdf--

    The first problem ism how do I extract the multipart/related data? The
    CGI modules do not appear to handle this sort of stuff, and despitre
    searching www.perl.com and CPAN, I cannot see any obvious modules that
    do what I want.

    I think that XML::Simple will be suitable for the simple XML i expect,
    but if anyone has any better suggestions, I would be more than happy
    to receive them.

    Thanks,

    Simon Callan
