Hi,I have a form with lots of fields with same field names.

I know that I can retrieve each type of fields by storing it into an array like this: 
my @fields = $INPUT->param('titles');
foreach my $f (@fields) {
          #do something with $f...
}

However, is there anyway I can access the values differently? For example, I tried using this syntax but it produced an error: 
    my $title = $INPUT->param("titles")[5];

I also tried this: 
    my $title = @{$INPUT->param("titles")}[5];

Both returned errors and I'm not sure where to look for a right way. Is it possible? Or is the only way is to store it inside an array?

I also DO NOT want to carry out this method by this way either: 
my @fields = $INPUT->param('titles');
my $title = $fields[5];

Thanks,
