I did it,
I don't know why, but the string "user=%s&pass=%s" was creating a segmentation fault, what i did was specify which characters i wanted to seek, like this:

Code:
/* compile gcc file.c -o file.cgi
 * Get strings from html form
 */
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
 
int main(void){
char *data, str1[12], str2[12];
printf("%s%c%c\n","Content-Type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1",13,10);

data = getenv("QUERY_STRING");
if(data==NULL){
printf("<H1>Error passing data to CGI Script</H1>");
exit(1);
}
else
sscanf(data,"user=%[0-9a-zA-Z]&pass=%[0-9a-zA-Z]", &str1, &str2);
printf("Username: %s<BR>", str1);
printf("Password: %s<BR>", str2);
return(0);
}

This is it, Working, Thanks vgersh99 Smilie

AppConfig::CGI(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 AppConfig::CGI(3)

NAME
AppConfig::CGI - Perl5 module for processing CGI script parameters. SYNOPSIS
use AppConfig::CGI; my $state = AppConfig::State->new(\%cfg); my $cgi = AppConfig::CGI->new($state); $cgi->parse($cgi_query); $cgi->parse(); # looks for CGI query in environment OVERVIEW
AppConfig::CGI is a Perl5 module which implements a CGI interface to AppConfig. It examines the QUERY_STRING environment variable, or a string passed explicitly by parameter, which represents the additional parameters passed to a CGI query. This is then used to update variable values in an AppConfig::State object accordingly. AppConfig::CGI is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle. DESCRIPTION
USING THE AppConfig::CGI MODULE To import and use the AppConfig::CGI module the following line should appear in your Perl script: use AppConfig::CGI; AppConfig::CGI is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an AppConfig::CGI object through the cgi() method. AppConfig::CGI is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::CGI object is created and initialised using the new() method. This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object. A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the first parameter: my $state = AppConfig::State->new(); my $cgi = AppConfig::CGI->new($state); This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::CGI object. PARSING CGI QUERIES The "parse()" method is used to parse a CGI query which can be specified explicitly, or is automatically extracted from the "QUERY_STRING" CGI environment variable. This currently limits the module to only supporting the GET method. See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::CGI module via the cgi() method. AUTHOR
