Dear Monks,

I would like to convert the parameter accessable via CGI::param into a hash(assuming I don't know what the keys/names are) What the procedure to do this ?

Cheers

    my %params = $cgi->Vars();

    Note that parameters with multiple values come out as packed strings, see the CGI documentation.

      How do 'multivalued CGI parameters' show up in an URL, can you give me an example ?

        Yup..

        foo?colour=red;colour=blue;colour=green

        For example if you allow multiple selections from an option/select group, then thats what you'll get.
