in reply to Clearing parameters

Uhh ... it's not working cause you're not doing anything. 
my $q = new CGI;
$q->param( $_ => undef ) for $q->param;

Of course, I'm assuming you want to clear the parameters in the CGI object. You were clearing the values as copied in from the CGI object.

    sorry, i knew that question may have been a little cryptic. i have a script that is calling itself repeatedly, and every time, it's accumulating name-value parameter pairs (which is really not the ultimate goal, but i figure i'll clean up later). while i'm debugging, it would be great to have a button that would "erase" everything that's accumulated.

    so i tried the following in place of what i had before, and i'm still getting a bunch of parameters passed: 

    my $q = new CGI;
$q->param( $_ => undef ) for $q->param;

    i know i could write it out with a for-loop, but it seems there ought to be a cleaner way to do it.
