Not entirely sure what you mean by ... want to invoke it from
my program, but my Crystal Ball tells me you might have the
following scenario :)
You're repeatedly calling the same CGI script (as, for example, to
enter multiple data records into some DB, with each form submit
providing the data for a single record...), and you want to keep CGI.pm
from setting the values of the previous submit as start values in
the next form presented to the user.
If that's the case, the method delete_all() might be what
you're looking for. Just execute it before outputting the form -- after
having processed the parameters from the previous submit, of course.

No i have made a script that searches /var/www/html/bestellingen/ingezet/ for files
it displays the files and then the user has three options
do nothing (niets)
place the file in /var/www/html/bestellingen/postvak_uit (verzenden)
or place the file in /var/www/html/bestellingen/nakijken (nakijkeną
The script works fine but when i push the submit (verwerken) button the screen needs to refresh and that does not work
i have a set to defaults button when i push it everything is ok
Here is my code it is probably the ugliest code you ever seen but i'm not a programmer and new to perl

(Note: I have that sneaking suspicion it was you, harryC, who
downvoted me (for trying to help), so you'll understand that my follow-up
response is somewhat less verbose than it would be otherwise... UPDATE: it turned out my suspicion was wrong. I'm sorry for that!)
So, yes, I do think you more or less have the scenario I decribed:
you do not specify an "action" URI when you call start_form, so
CGI.pm will submit to itself (the default), i.e. the URI that generated
the page/form... and thus put the parameters received as initial
values into the subsequent form on the response page (this is default
magic of CGI.pm).
What you want is: extract the parameters you need (like
$verwerken = param('Doorsturen'), etc.), then call
$q->delete_all. Both needs to be done before you
output the form with $q->start_form .
Alternatively, in particular if you don't really want the form at all on
the response page, specify -action => $some_other_URI as
argument to start_form(), and generate the response page via
some other CGI script...

I writing a CGI script for the first time
Even though CGI.pm has a lot of functions for html and forms, I tend to still use my own html. Only because its easyer for me that way.
May I suggest to use your own html in the parts where your having problems then maybe try to convert the script to use all CGI.pm's functions later.
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
Good Luck

for CGI.pm you can try this for a Rest Button like the one in my post above.
$query->reset('Reset Form') = <input type="reset" name="Reset Form" value="Reset Form" />
The code your using is just a submit button
$query->defaults('Defaults') = <input type="submit" name=".defaults" value="Defaults" />
Good Luck

with $query->defaults('Defaults') = <input type="submit" name=".defaults" value="Defaults" />
i get following error
can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call
thanks for your reply

Erm.. the poster meant that $query->defaults('Defaults') returns <input type="submit" name=".defaults" value="Defaults" />. It probably wasn't meant as a line of code to be copied in total. :-)
