Thanks to all for the replies. Being that I am a eRPG newbie, I just
determined that it would be a better exercise to learn both methods so
that's why I went the GET route. I'm really not sure what the pros and cons

What's the difference between using GET and POST?  Generally, POST
should be used when you're changing state on the server, and GET
should be used when you're retrieving data from the server.  Indeed,
a CGI app can have a different effect based on the request method.
The following page discusses the differences in more detail:
