I have a mail script that takes input from a few forms, of which one has a checkbox-group. I'm in a situation where I need to write out the parameters in a single string, like so: 

foreach($q->param()){
    if(/^[\w\d]+/){
        $stuff .= $_;
        $stuff .= ":";
        $stuff .= $q->param("$_");
        $stuff .= "\n\n";
    }
}

The problem is with the checkboxes, only the first given value gets appended to the string. Like if the string was: 

list:foo,bar,foobar

[download]

the string is set to 

list:foo

I'm probably just missing something simple, but I've tried pretty much everything I know. I'd appreciate some comments..
