Hi everyone, I am trying to write my first CGI script and am using WWW::Mechanize. I have a multi-line text box on a form and collect the data using
my $form_comments = $query->param('comments');
This will store all the lines of text into a string, correct? I then have $form_comments passed using submit to another script where it scrapes another website and enters $form_comments by using:
$agent->field("COMMENT", join("\n", "$ARGV[4]"));
When I do this, only the first line of my $form_comments is actually filled into the box. Does anyone know why this may be happening? ($form_comments when being passed using submit turns into $ARGV4]) Thanks in advance!
