Re^2: Passing multiple parameters to a CGI script?

You are not required to use ampersands to delimit variables if your script is using the CGI module. From the CGI perldoc:

  -newstyle_urls
        Separate the name=value pairs in CGI parameter query strings w
+ith
        semicolons rather than ampersands. For example:

           ?name=fred;age=24;favorite_color=3

        Semicolon-delimited query strings are always accepted, but wil
+l not
        be emitted by self_url() and query_string() unless the
        -newstyle_urls pragma is specified.

        This became the default in version 2.64.

I'm using the standard functions of CGI (`use CGI qw(:standard);`), and attempting to use `$queryvariable = new CGI; $variable=$queryvariable->param('param');` [download] to get the parameters. How would I link to the cgi file, and be able to use multiple parameters? My Website	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Usually when you import the standard functions, it is because you are using the function oriented, not the object oriented style. With the latter, you don't need to import :standard. I'm unclear about what you mean by "use multiple parameters". You can get the values of any parameter names using `param('name')`, and you can get all the names returned as a list if you wish by using `param()`. chas	[reply] [d/l] [select]
