TT2 and Plugin CGI

avo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear monks,
I have an issue retrieving some cgi data via Template Toolkit CGI plugin. <vr>I don't know what I must do in order to get "Previous value" ([%mycgi.param('lval_' rec1.h_num)%] check below):

[% USE mycgi = CGI %]
<html>
<form>
....
[%FOREACH rec1 IN thedata.rec%]
<input type="text" name="lval_[%rec1.h_num%]" value="[%rec1.h_win%]"/>
  CGI parameter name: [%'lval_'; rec1.h_num%]
  Previous Value: [%mycgi.param('lval_' rec1.h_num)%]
  <hr>
[%END%]
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
....
</form>
</html>

If I try to make the tag look like [%mycgi.param('lval_'; rec1.h_num)%]
I get an error "unexpected end of directive..." All help is highly appreciated.

In Template::Manual::Directives it says "You can concatenate strings together using the ' _ ' operator."	[reply]

Thanks! I must have missed that while going through the manual :) Take care!	[reply]
