In this node I got some advice on how to post and retrieve multiple rows of data. I am now getting an error using this: "Can't use string ("1") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at...". I am using Mason, and one of the comments in the aforementioned node was trying to eliminate this problem, but I still get the same error (pointing to the "init" line).

The form being posted looks like this: 
<input type="hidden" name="edit_item" value="1">
<input type="text" name="edit_name_1" value="hello" size="20">

The code that processes this looks as follows... 
my @editlineitems = @{ $ARGS{ edit_item } };
foreach my $line (@editlineitems) {
  my $name = $ARGS{"edit_name_$line"};
}

Any help would be appreciated!
