The friar code above does not work for multivalued params. so I have to do @multivalues=$q->param('selectboxvalues') whenever I use mulitple select boxes or checkboxes. I'm thinking of refining this further using a ref test to handle multiple values. 
 
my @names=$q->param;
foreach my $str (@names) {
    if (ref($str) eq "ARRAY") {
        my @multi=$q->param($str);
        sr->{$str} =\@multi;
    }else {
        $sr->{$str} =$q->param($str);}
    }
}
