Does CGI.pm have a limit on information passed?by c (Hermit) |

c has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
i am using cgi.pm to pull the returned values for a web-based form
with the following code:
now, this seems to work fine and the values are stuffed into one of two seperate hashes. now i look through the %form hash and verify that all the form fields that i mark as required, are filled in
the @required array just simply a list of the form fields that need to be present. what is odd is that sometimes, even though all the form fields have been filled in, the script pushes _all_ the form's fields into @misssed_fields as though cgi.pm hasnt extract any values for them. this seems to occur when a group of radio buttons are selected. it occurs whether or not the radio button form names are within the @required array or not. just having them selected seems to cause cgi.pm to freak. does this sound at all logical or as a known issue? i can barely believe that it would since i would imagine that many sights are using radio buttons! the form is not especially large, only 30 fields to fill in. your input is very appreciated on this one! humbly -c
