in reply to CGI.pm: How to Stop Maintaining State

Have you tried the -nosticky option? As in: 
use CGI qw(-nosticky :standard);

I believe this will do what you want.

It also looks like you can toggle it on individual calls to $q->hidden() et all, using -override=>1

$query->hidden(-name=>'field_name',
               -override=>1,
               );

    Thank you, Blake. I'll look at the -nosticky and -override options, and see what I can come up with. Those are what I was looking for. It still doesn't make sense for the old material to override the new by default, though.
