If I understand your question correctly, something like the following may be what you're looking for:

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

use strict;
use CGI;
my $query = new CGI;
my @keys  = $query->param;

my %data;

# Do NOT use this code.  It is very insecure and for illustration purp
+oses only!
# Individual elements are untainted and may be dangerous!

for (@keys) {
    $data{$_} = $query->param($_);
}

The %data hash will the contain all of the name/value pairs from the forms. With the complete hash, you can manipulate the data at will.

If, for some reason, you have more than one value for a name, the hash will contain (if I recall correctly) a reference to an array for that name with the elements of the array being the values.
