Re: Typeglobs and Symbol tables

Fourth question: Is there a cleaner way to write the "no strict..." block in Foo.pm?

I don't really see the point of your module. Have you seen this section of the CGI documentation?

FETCHING THE PARAMETER LIST AS A HASH:  

    $params = $q->Vars;
    print $params->{'address'};
    @foo = split("\0",$params->{'foo'});
    %params = $q->Vars;


    use CGI ':cgi-lib';
    $params = Vars;

I am aware of the `Vars` function, but that didn't suit my needs in this case. Cheers, Ovid Join the Perlmonks Setiathome Group or just click on the the link and check out our stats.	[reply]
