All, id like to be able to store txt from a comment box form into an array but im having problems just trying a simple test. A user will enter the elements as such:

test1 test2 test3
[download]

The test script called by the browser:

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);

print "The following options have been selected:<br>\n";
print "<br>\n";

my %form;

foreach my $p (param()) {
    $form{$p} = param($p);
    print "$p = $form{$p}<br>\n";
    print LOG "$form{$p}\n";

}

my @apps = qw($form{'AppName'});

foreach my $i (@apps) {
        print "<br>\n";
        print "$i\n";
}
print end_html;
[download]

The values get stored in $form{'AppName'}. When calling $i, I only get $form{'AppName'} returned to the browser, not the actual values.
