in thread Using CGI param method

Thanks it now works: 
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard); 
sub parse_form { 
foreach $p (param()) { 

$FORM{$p}= param($p); 
} 
}

Just trying to clarify what the use CGI qw(:standard) module is doing? It already assigned an object for param so I can reference it above? I am just curious to what is going on in the above area??

    From the docs, it looks like using :standard creates a default CGI object, which can be accessed using functions like param().

    That's probably why the sample code I gave you didn't work; the default object was already created, so when it tried to read the data to create another one, there was no data.
