    Thanks aquarium,

    I tried that, but sadly it didn't work. I think I had an epiphany, I'm going to update my original note. It appears when I add \n (line feeds, whatever) to my textareas, things go wrong from there.

      then a bit of additional code can still make the short-circuit OR work, e.g.
      print LOGFILE ("\t".($FORM{$key}=~/[a-zA-Z0-9])?"$FORM{$key}:"BLANK"))
+;
