Yup. That's pretty much how you would do it. I would add at least a little bit of
validation,
though, to ensure that you are at least getting numbers.
use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $_selection = param('time_track_minutes') || '';
my ( $selection ) = ( $_selection =~ /^(\d{1,2})$/ );
That will ensure that the $selection variable will have one or two digits. If it
contains
anything *other* than digits, $selection will be undefined. Then, when you pass it to
your sub,
you check to see if it's defined. If not, someone may have tried to alter the form and
deliberately pass bad data.
