in reply to retrieving similar form params

Maybe something like this would work. 
my $count = 0;

for(1 .. 5)
{
   $count++;
   if(param("fname$count") ne "")
   {
      if(param("lname$count") ne "")
      {
         # so on
         # and so on

or really, you could test all paramaters in one go instead of separate conditionals.

Hope this helps.
