form fields into array

Losing has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have an hmtl form that will have an unknown number of fields. In php if you name fields as so..
<input name="array[]" />
The fields with name=array will be sent as an array. Is this possible using the perl CGI module?

Yes, in fact, there's no way to avoid it. That is the default behavior. `my @params = $cgi->param("arrayname"); # violla!` [download] You did ask specifically about CGI. The section you want is here. -Paul	[reply] [d/l]

aghhh!!! Thanks for the reply. I was doing it that way, but I was leaving off the brackets when calling $cgi->param(). Works fine now! Thanks for the help.	[reply]
