There is an old hack way of dealing with this, here you go...

sub fParse {
   if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'GET') {
      @pairs = split(/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
   } elsif ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq 'POST') {
      read (STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
      @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
      if ($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}) {
         @getpairs = split(/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
         push(@pairs,@getpairs);
      }
   } else {
      print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
      print "Use Post or Get";
   }
   foreach $pair (@pairs) {
      ($key, $value) = split (/=/, $pair);
      $key =~ tr/+/ /;
      $key =~ s/%(a-fA-F0-9a-fA-F0-9)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
      $value =~ tr/+/ /;
      $value =~ s/%(a-fA-F0-9a-fA-F0-9)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
      $value =~s///g;
      if ($fData{$key}) {
         $fData{$key} .= ", $value";
      } else {
         $fData{$key} = $value;
      }
   }
}

The CGI data is stored in a hash call %fData and the fields with the multi select are comma delimited in the associated key. You can split it from there:

@meSelect = split(/\, /, $fData{$key});

Here is the same script in PERLScript running as ASP:

################################
# Gather Incoming Data Strings #
################################
$qv = $Request->QueryString($Request->QueryString->Key(0));
$fv = $qv."&".$Request->Form($Request->Form->Key(0));
@pairs = split(/\&/, $fv);
foreach $pair (@pairs){
   ($key, $value) = split (/=/, $pair);
   $key =~ tr/+/ /;
   $key =~ s/%(a-fA-F0-9a-fA-F0-9)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
   $value =~ tr/+/ /;
   $value =~ s/%(a-fA-F0-9a-fA-F0-9)/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
   $value =~s///g;
   if ($fData{$key}) {
      $fData{$key} .= ", $value";
   } else {
      $fData{$key} = $value;
}  }

It works. This bit of code has been floating around my library for a very long time. BTW these little subs work with both "GET" and "POST" CGI data.
