in reply to HTTP::Request and multiple select

By multiple values did you mean like a multi-selection box? I think that HTTP::Request will handle that with a simple array ref for the value...
use HTTP::Request::Common; use LWP::UserAgent; $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $res =$ua->request( POST 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv', { Who => 'Mark', Why => 'Because', FavColors => ['Blue', 'Red', 'Yellow'], Hair => 'Balding', Etc => 'More Examples' } ); print $res->content;

One hasty modification to printenv gives me:

#!/usr/bin/perl use CGI 'param'; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; while (($key, $val) = each %ENV) { print "$key = $val<BR>\n"; } print "<hr>\n"; print "$_ = ".join (", ",param($_))."<BR>\n" for param; ## returns ...
