in reply to Passing scalars to CGI module

If you want to use $a as a method, you only store the method name in it, not the parameters. 
$a = 'textfield';
$q->$a('lastname');

    is it possible to do the following then: 
    @a = ('textfield','lastname','Bob',20,15);
$q->$a[0[(-name=>$a[1],-default=>$a[2],-size=>$a[3],-max=>$a[4]);

    or even better 
    @a = ('textfield',qq|-name=>'lastname'|, qq|-default=>'Bob'|, etc.);
$q->$a[0]($a[1],$a[2],$a[3], etc...)
