Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello. My question to all of you is : How do I pass all the names and values of an HTML <select> menu to a subroutine? I display 5 different select menus, each with different names and a value of yes or no. I would like to collect all names and values selected and pass them to a subroutine that will print out the name and value for each menu.

    Look into CGI.pm. It handles all input from the user. It's distributed with Perl itself

      Yes, CGI.pm would be the best solution. I don't post the entire code for doing this here because it's just too easy.

    You don't need to "pass" anything. The $query->param() is global in your Perl script (if you use CGI;)
