Some days ago, I finally tried out an approach that worked out like a
charm.  All that's needed in addition to pmwiki's built in forms
facility is Martin Fick's HttpVariables cookbook recipe:

  http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/HttpVariables

Here's how it works:

* The form contains an action URL that points to some CGI program.

* The CGI will process the input data and redirect to a wiki page,
  passing the output using Get syntax.

* The wiki page for showing the results makes use of the HttpVariables
  recipe to read out the values to display.

An example:
