    Hi Guys, my boss don't want me to update CPAN out of fear of regression testing other applications using current cpan version 3.00. Any other ideas on how to use current CPAN version to get my code to work. So far I haven't seen any other solution yet.

      Try the example script from the docs ;
      #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use CGI qw/:standard/; print header, start_html('Simple Script'), h1('Simple Script'), start_form, "What's your name? ",textfield('name'),p, "What's the combination?", checkbox_group(-name=>'words', -values=>['eenie','meenie','minie','moe'], -defaults=>['eenie','moe']),p, "What's your favorite color?", popup_menu(-name=>'color', -values=>['red','green','blue','chartreuse']),p, submit, end_form, hr,"\n"; if (param) { print "Your name is ",em(param('name')),p, "The keywords are: ",em(join(", ",param('words'))),p, "Your favorite color is ",em(param('color')),".\n"; } print end_html;

        Hi poj thanks for your reply, but I need to be able to submit an array of values eg. values=>\@array which does not currently work. It will work with -values=>'eenie','meenie','minie','moe', but the former is what I want because of the dynamic values been created in \@array. Any other ideas?

      So far I haven't seen any other solution yet.

      And you likely won't, sorry
