Re^2: Multiple form selections in cgi

Thanks. This would definitely work, and fall within the definition of

Or some variant that cycles through all form elements looking for anything named "year_x".

For the sake of elegance, I'm wondering if there's not something else.

Unfortunately the `id` attributes of your form elements do not get sent to your CGI scripts, only the names and values. One of the features (OK, probably the only feature) that I like about PHP is you can name form elements something like `blah[3][2]` and then PHP will automatically create an 2D array with that element's value at `[3][2]`. I wonder if there's a CPAN module for doing similar form parsing in Perl?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
