in thread using variables to get data from CGI.pm's param() function

What folks might hate about it is that you didn't give any clue about the solution that you found. This particular sort of question does come up a lot, and usually gets an answer like "yes, that's one way to do it, but there are better ways..."

If you found a better way, don't be shy -- sharing it is bound to help someone else who's about to ask the same question again.

    Ack, sorry graff, you are completely correct. The solution is that it does work as you'd expect. I found a stupid little error that was causing the whole script to fail. Should have spent another 5 minutes debugging before writing this one up. I'm under the gun and then jumped the gun. :( Thanks for the reply.
