Re: how to get table data in cgi after submitting the form?

In your form CGI:

print $cgi->textfield(
   -name => "foo", #This is the name we need later
   -value => "bar"
);
[download]

In your code where you want to retrieve those values:

my $foo = $cgi->param(
   -name => "foo" #Back from earlier
);
[download]

Couldn't get easier than that :)

Don't know what you're initializing CGI.pm with (I always use CGI qw(:standard) ), but in my scripts I can access the form fields just by saying param('foo'), or if I want to cycle through them, param($_) for param() . Your method seems a bit wordy.	[reply]

Your method seems a bit wordy. I do it for verbosity, so that the OP gets exactly what I mean. You're right -- I could have done it using the :standard method, but I personally dislike that method. My initialisation of the CGI object is just `$cgi = new CGI;` ~Thomas~	[reply] [d/l]
