Thank you salvadors and davorg for pointing out some flaws. This shows me what i need to learn about.

• I didn't realize that use can't be conditioned. I've fixed that and will be studying use, require and compile vs. runtime functions.
• I was checking the contents of %in before it was populated *blush*, and fixed it!
• I found node 30402 and especially merlyn's advice responding to the source node for the flawed algorithm. Is this really a problem if the script has no multi-valued params, and never will?
• I understand what you're saying about mixing CGI.pm interfaces. But i have tried it, and it works! :-)

I almost put this in craft but thought it was too big. Let me know if you think craft would have been a better choice.

Thanks again - epoptai
