Need Help??

in reply to Some code
in thread use strict seems to hose my code

Maybe you stripped more than what you had to to post your code here, but from what I can see,

my ($buffer,$name,$value,@pairs,$pair);
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
[download]

you are acting on an empty $buffer: the my declaration of $buffer 'initializes' it, so when you use split() to get the values from it, you are acting on an 'empty' variable. You might want to move that

my ($buffer);
[download]

a little higher on your script.

Do you get any warnings that tell you you are acting on undefined data? try printing $buffer before and after the split(), because it might tell you the problem is there...

Update: you say you don't even get 'empty' lines printed, which tells me you never run the for() loop... try to print() @pairs before entering the for()

hope this helps,
