Hello All
I am having a problem with CGI:Vars not reporting correct parameters from a form. These are a set of checkboxes and textfields with names "ipaddress:paramname". There might be one set for one address and another set for another and so on.

The problem is when I process the form and get the params with

%params = $q-Vars();
for each $key (keys %params)
{ print "key is $key with value $params{$key}"; }

With the above I get and output like:
key is ipaddress: with value paramvalu1 paramvalu2..... INSTEAD OF
key is ipaddress:paramname with value paramvalu1
key is ipaddress:paramname with value paramvalu1 ...

A strange thing I noticed is that the problem is with parameters I generate in a function, pass back via an array and then print. Any paramater not done in this way appears correctly in the processing. ALL parameters appear corretly when I do a "view source" on the page.

Any ideas about this?
Thanks
Sawan
