in reply to :-delimited lists in CGI parameters

Huh? You're getting
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="foo:bar" />
right? That's what you should be getting. What is it that you're expecting (How (Not) To Ask A Question)?

    Sorry, I should have included an example. If %param looks like:
    ( selected => "foo" )
    and $file = "bar"
    I would expect the larger snippet of code to give me something like this:
    <input type="hidden" name="selected" value="foo:bar">
    when what I get instead is:
    <input type="hidden" name="selected" value="foo">
    If I change the hidden() to a Dumper in order to show the contents of %param in place of the hidden input, the values are infact what I would expect. The reason I included the one liner is to demonstrate the inconsistancy.

    Ovid definately pointed out a better way that I hadn't thought of but I am still curious what the goofup is here. To get the full operation of the script means posting a lot of code and it its not something obvious, I'd rather just drop the issue and dtrt.
