in reply to enctype problem in CGI

It works fine for me. IE: 
print $q->start_form(-method => 'POST',  -action=>"myAction.pl");
# <form method="post" action="myAction.pl" 
#  enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">


print $q->start_form(
  -method => 'POST', 
  -enctype => &CGI::URL_ENCODED, 
  -action=>"myAction.pl");
# <form method="post" action="myAction.pl" 
# enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

and

print $q->start_form(
  -method => 'POST', 
  -enctype => &CGI::MULTIPART, -action=>"myAction.pl");
# <form method="post" action="myAction.pl" enctype="multipart/form-dat
+a">

I noticed that your output has two enctype attributes and your for has a POST method but your code does not have it. I doubt that the output is from your code.

    I get the method="post" with the OP's code. That seems to be the default if you didn't specify a method, at least in the version of CGI.pm that I have (2.752 I believe.)

    That IS the output from the code.

    POST is the default method - so the fact that my code does not have it means nothing.

    If you re-read the my post you will see the ENCTYPE is the source of my confusion. Of course there should only be one. Of course, the default should be "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

    Any other ideas ?

      Yes, use the encoding type explicit in your code. Since it looks, the default has changed. 
      print $q->start_form(
  -enctype => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", 
  -action=>"myAction.pl");

        -enctype => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

        and

        -enctype=>&CGI::URL_ENCODED
