Hi, One of the core Jellybean objects uses CGI.pm to pull data from the QUERY_STRING. (We're good monks.) Since Jellybean offers a persistent object platform, we ran into an issue where the values from CGI::param() didn't match the query string passed from the client.

For example, the following code is a snippet showing the behavior. The print statements are for debugging, and I'll describe the commented bits after the code: 

sub save {
    my $self = shift;
print STDERR $ENV{QUERY_STRING}, "\n";
#    $CGI::PERLEX = 1;
    my $q = new CGI;
    my $result;
    foreach my $sect ($self->{config}->sectionNames()) {
        foreach my $item ($self->{config}->sectionKeys($sect)) {
print STDERR "Found:\t", $q->param("$sect|$item"), "\n";
            $self->{config}->put($item, $q->param("$sect|$item"), $sec
+t);        }
    }
#    $q->_reset_globals();
    if (!$self->{config}->save()) { 
        return "Error saving config file: $!";
    } else {
        return $self->default();
    }
}

From my brief perusal of CGI.pm, am I correct in assuming that there is something in its namespace that ought to be reset? Either of the two commented out lines achieve the same results -- namely, that it works properly.

Anyone with more CGI.pm familiarity is invited to comment on this, especially if you can provide insight or a better way to do things.
