To the best of my knowledge most web servers will not pass parameters
properly this way, and if one does, it's not the typical behaviour.

So far as I can tell your code has 2 problems.

1. You're calling rm=registerNewUser here while you're run mode is named
registerUser but *points to* a function called registerNewUser. Your rm=
must be the name of the run mode not the name of the function it points to.

2. You would be much better off using the form like:
<form method='post' action='/cgi-bin/registration.cgi'>
<input type='hidden' name='rm' value='registerUser'>
    .....some stuff
<input type='submit' value='Register'>
</form>

Don't mix arguments to your cgi script (i.e. anything like
?key=value&key2=value ) if you're using the script as part of a form. Always
put those additional arguments inside hidden input fields.
