    That's what I was talking about with 'dereferencing'. Either leave out the square brackets in the map block (if there are no multivalued fields) or else wrap the values you print in '@{}' to dereference them. The References quick reference tutorial by tye may help you a lot.

    You may want to think of other data structures to use. A hash of values keyed by field names is often natural for cgi form data.
