I want to know if there is some way for me to grab more than one varaible using the param method. I know I can grab all of them like this
@values = $q->param;
but there are specific param values I want to grab I know I can grab them singly with
$value = $q->param('foo');
I need something that will something like this for me
$values = $q->param('foo','foo2');
OR let me just show you my code and what I'm trying to do; 
# configuration variables
       my $path = '/saw3/cgi-bin/BXJOH27/';
       my $job_file = 'job.txt';
       my $location_file = 'Inv_CLLI.txt';

      # assign form data to variables
       my $Job = $q->param('Job_ID');
       my $Location = $q->param('Inv_CLLI');
     
      # print our data to a file
       print_to_file("$path/$job_file", $Job);
       print_to_file("$path/$location_file", $Location);
       
      # print data to file
sub       print_to_file {
           my $file = shift;
           my $data = shift;
           open (FILE, ">>$file") || 
               die "Unable to open file: $!";
#           flock (FILE, LOCK_EX) ||
#                die "Can't get an exclusive lock on $file: $!";
           print FILE "$data\n";
           close FILE;
       }
