In my applications, I generally scoop up the form into a hash and then pass it as a hash ref. eg:
my $form = $Request->Form(); myfunc($form); sub myfunc { my $form = shift; print "Use like this: ", $form->{key}; print "Or like this: ", $$form{key}; } Hope this helps John On Monday 09 September 2002 01:24 pm, Josh Chamas spewed into the ether: > Charlie Farinella wrote: > > I'm passing parameters from a form to a result page, and then trying to > > call a subroutine from an external package to process the variable. > > > > I'm using $Request->Form to get the value from the form to the result > > page, but my subroutine is unable to make use of it.
