Re: Pollit CGI-script opens doors!

[thegnome () NMRC ORG (Simple Nomad)]

It should be noted that the Poll_It_v2.0.cgi suffers from the same problem
as Poll_It_SSI_v2.0.cgi. The fix is similar, move line 77
(%in = &ReadForm;) to line 66. Poll_It_v2.0.cgi is in the same distro as
Poll_It_SSI_v2.0.cgi.
