OK, so my sub to parse form contents is called at runtime. On *nix if there was no form data, the script just continued on its merry way. On IIs I am getting this error: Bad name after what_ever_var' (Note single quote haning there) I have tried parsing the form with this:my %FORM = $q->Vars('topic','words','pass','textsize','topicsize','edit');
and
my %FORM = map { $_, @{[ param($_) ]} > 1 ? [ param($_) ] : param($_) } param();
and
my @labels = qw(topic words pass name textsize topicsize);
my %form = map { $_ => $q->param($_) } @labels;

Any advice?
TIA

here is the sub:
sub parse_form {
    my %FORM = map { $_, @{[ param($_) ]} > 1 ? [ param($_) ] : param(
+$_) } param();
    $name = $q->param('name') || "Agenda";
    $name =~ s/\s/_/g;
    $words = $q->param('words');
    $plain_words=$words;
    $words =~ s/\r\n/<BR>/g;
    while ($words=~ /<br>/gi ) {$line_break_count++}  
    $topic= $q->param('topic');
    $textcolor = $q->param('textcolor');
    $textsize = $q->param('textsize');
    $topicsize = $q->param('topicsize');
    $textface = $q->param('textface');
    $user = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
    $pass = $q->param('pass');
    $edit = $q->param('edit');

    if ($edit eq "done") {
        send_edit_form();
    } elsif ($edit eq "yes") {
                make_edit_form();
    }
    if ($line_break_count > $max_break_count) {
        seperate_page()
    }
}
