If by stickiness you mean what I think you mean, you don't need CGI.pm for that. You presumably are already passing the form values selected by the user back to your script as input (either in a QUERY_STRING or via POST) because otherwise there'd be no point in having those fields in the first place, except maybe decor. So, when you print out your form elements (however you do it), just prefill them with the existing input. You can use ||= to set defaults, to cover the case where the user is getting the form for the first time. (If " " or zero is a legit value, you can use a defined ... or structure to do the same thing, e.g., defined $input{foo} or $input{foo}="blah";.) 

{my$c;$ x=sub{++$c}}map{$ \.=$_->()}map{my$a=$_->[1];
sub{$a++ }}sort{_($a->[0 ])<=>_( $b->[0])}map{my@x=(&
$x( ),$ _) ;\ @x} split //, "rPcr t lhuJnhea eretk.as
o";print;sub _{ord(shift)*($=-++$^H)%(42-ord("\r"))};
