Assuming you give your fields in your form names, you can do (within your
script):

require 'cgi'
  cgi = CGI.new
  cgi['name']    # -> ["Thomas Adam"]
  cgi['bday']    # -> ["1983"]

Which when passed via the CGI script will display the results above
assuming you hand enty names for your fields with 'name' and 'bday'
