Hello, I'm using CGI::Application to drive my web site project. I'm very happy using it along with HTML::Template and CGI::Application::ValidateRM

My Problem? I am creating a list such that at the end of each row I intended to have a submit button. Depressing this button should send the user into a different run mode (rm) of my CGI App.

CGI App "knows" which rm to enter by either a hidden field, regular field, or query string that looks like: rm=foo. Submit buttons are part of the query string, so if you have a button named "rm" with a value of "foo" then CGI app will jump to the "foo" run mode. Unfortunately, if I set the label attribute of the button to "Click here nice user" then CGI app takes that as the run mode to use, ignoring the value attribute. This seems like a bug.

Anyone know a way to have a set of buttons with arbitrary labels that fire off to specific run modes?

Cheers
