I have a form that has 4 fields that are of the same format. When I submit the form, I'd like to do the same data validation on all 4. All for are named similarly (i.e. Name1, Name2, Name3, Name4). In my cgi, I'd like to loop over them using the param() call. Is it possible to do something like: 
my $name = "";
for(my $num = 1; $num < 5; $num++){
    $name = "Name".$num;
    print param($name);
}

If not, any ideas? Note: JavaScript is out of the question for data validation.
