in reply to form parsing

For a blessfull change, try to use the CODE tag.

Second, read the docs, eg CGI.

Than, your code can be shuffled into:

for my $field ($cgi->param){ $cgi->param($field) =~ s/search/replace/g; }

Try subsequently to rethink your regexes...

Update /me humbly crawls in the dust, ashamed of the mere suggestion, let alone the naked fact, of the use of $cgi->param as an l-value. I just was not thinking, that's the only thing I can come up with. That's not even an excuse. As a self-proclaimed punishment:

open LETEVERYBODYKNOW, ">/var/www/index.html"; print LETEVERYBODYKNOW "Thou shall not use CGI's param as an l-val +ue\n" for 1..117682;
I believe merlyn and tilly have some runable code, actually.
