hello wise monks,

I'm in a fix with an easy checkbox_group of the CGI.pm (2.81)on win32(perl -v This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)and running the cgi script on IIS 5.0 (all other CGI scripts works fine)

Now I'm starting a new script with a check box group: it seemed to me just easy.. and indeed I receive strange results:

1-with no check box checked it runs VERY slow and no results
2-with 1-3 box checked it works
3-with 4 or more checked the param seems not set..

any ideas ?

cheers from Roma Lor*

Update: it seems the madness was mine.. I never rialized well about not mixing object/function style (thnks Coltsfoot)
Tehn I putted everytime POSTMAX=100 but without thinking seriously about: I ever dealt with small posted data: now 3 IP are more then the max and checking print $q->cgi_error(); returns 413 Request entity too large like eieio suggested thnks

never start code at the end of a long week..

thnks Lor*
