Dear monks! I'm programming a simple address book just to learn how to code cgi with perl.
The cgi contains some radio button which is the following code:
print $cgi-> radio_group(-name=>'my_radio_buttons',<br>
             -value=>['add','search'],<br>
                     -default=>'add',<br>
                     -linebreak=>0,<br>
                     -labels=>\%std_radio_values);<br>

I believe this code is correct.
I want to pass the values of the radio_group to the script, so it can continue with $my add_param = $cgi-> param('add');
i know this code is not corrent because CGI's param() search in -name=>'' argument for the param() values.
That means cgi get $my add_param = 'my_radio_buttons'. How i can get the -value=>'' as it was -name=>''?
Can i create a single button without using radio_group?
I didn't see anything in CGI doc.
