in reply to cgi.pm param method help

With no error checking or untainting,and assuming you know the names you want ahead of time (and heck, even if you don't, you can construct the list, it's just a little more work):

my @params_to_join = qw(foo bar baz); my $Job = join ":", map {$q->param($_)} @params_to_join;

Or, even more concisely:

my $Job = join ":", map {$q->param($_)} qw(foo bar baz);
