Yes, it would.

In the "output" side of your web script:

# Give each row a unique value (1, 2, 3...) for (1..10){ # Name each field, adding the unique value in $_ (A1, B1, C1...) print qq{ <tr> <td><input type="text" name="A$_"></td> <td><input type="text" name="B$_"></td> <td><input type="text" name="C$_"></td> <td><input type="text" name="D$_"></td> </tr> }; }
In the "processing" side:
for (1..10){ my ($A, $B, $C, $D) = (CGI::param("A$_"), CGI::param("B$_"), CGI::param("C$_"), CGI::pa +ram("D$_")); # This line confirms that the user entered something in at least one + field next unless grep {defined $_} ($A, $B, $C, $D); # Now that we know we got user input, do an insert into the database }
This is not the most efficient way to do things, but I'm trying to demonstrate the technique, not give cut-and-paste-ready code.

Good luck.
