print "true" unless $MrCromeDome ne "dumbass"

Yeah, that will always print true ;)

It's pretty much the situation that you describe above. . . just a little bit different. Instead of this:

http://cygnus/cgi-bin/view.cgi?document=12345678&=name
[download]

I have this:

http://cygnus/cgi-bin/view.cgi?document=12345678&&tab=name
[download]

Note the &&. If I make it a single &, it seems to work fine. Seems like I made a pretty fatal typo there. I don't know if that indicates a problem with CGI or not (my guess is not), but I do know that things work fine without the second &.

Thanks for your help :)

typo - yes fatal - shouldn't have been (IMHO) CGI.pm is basically doing `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; $_ = 'test1=1&&test3=3'; for ( split '&' ) { my($param,$value) = split '='; print "param='$param'\n"; print "value='$value'\n"; # and using $param even though it is undefined the 2nd time }` [download] You said that both versions of apache are the same but it looks like the two versions of CGI.pm are different - you can check ~ line 22 of CGI.pm for the version number. if they are the same then I'm stumped - otherwise you should probably upgrade to the newer one at least as it looks like it is handling malformed URLs properly (this type anyway). larryk perl -le "s,,reverse killer,e,y,rifle,lycra,,print"	[reply] [d/l]

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

$_ = 'test1=1&&test3=3';

for ( split '&' ) {
    my($param,$value) = split '=';
    print "param='$param'\n";
    print "value='$value'\n";
    
    # and using $param even though it is undefined the 2nd time
}
