Another possibility is to make the catalog number the field name, and the quantity its value.

    How would I get the parameter name?

    And my examples are not sufficient because there will be more than just two fields defining a line. Right now there are five, but that may increase.

      if you're using CGI.pm, you can get the parameter list by calling the param method without arguments: 
      my $q = new CGI;
my @params = $q->param();

      FWIW, I'd go with the  num_of_lines=5&item_num_1=1234&item_num_2=4562... approach.
