I had to think about that one for a bit.
Every so often a '$q variable' needs to be assigned to a scalar variable because it would not interpolate

my $foo = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT cola FROM table WHERE id=$q->p
+aram('id')");
## This does not work.
## I could do something similar to this to solve the problem.
my $cgi_vars{id} = $q->param('id');
my $foo = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT cola FROM tablet WHERE id=$cgi
+_vars{id}");

This happens fairly frequently. So rather than assigning each variable as needed, I simply put all the cgi variables into a hash at the cost of a little performance.

I could put only the altered variables back in the $q object but this one liner, again at the expense of performace, seemed like an easy way to do it.

foreach (keys %cgi_vars) { $q->param($_ => $cgi_vars{$_}); }

This is replaced with 'associate => $q', which is the reason for all this in the first place.

$template->param(
    templatefoo => $q->param( 'foo' ),
    templatebar => $q->param( 'bar' )
);
