in reply to CGI parameters as global variables

Thank you for the quick replies. I think I confused things by using QUERY_STRING in my description. I am using CGI.pm and not %ENV to get the parameters. The reason I need these things in global variables at all is that I am using the following regexp later on: 
  $SQLStatement =~ s/(\$\w+)/$1/eeg;

That particular statement won't evalute hashes or I would just access the Params hash directly. Jeffa, I hope that answers your question as to why. boo_radley and shotgunefx, I think you hit the nail on the head. I am going to try bringing it into a namespace that way. Thank you.

    Substituting with values from a hash is possible: 
    my %data = (
    foo => 'oof',
    bar => 'rab',
);

my $text = "foo/bar";
$text =~ s/(\w+)/$data{$1}/g;
print "($text)\n";
