Hi, I am trying to access the parameter list from a form. I keep getting a "Not an ARRAY reference at (eval...)". The error seems to refer to
my @names = $q->param; If I use Dump I get: # imp * list.txt # dsc * Groovey * # set * # usr * DP # job * jobs/DP227 # go * Y # DUF I think there is some odd characters or something after Groovey. The form has a file upload button and I expect that this might be the source of the problem. There is a file being uploaded when I am getting the above error. So I tried fetching all the parameters into a hash but I keep hitting other problems; "can't use bareword Vars with strict" and the hash reference looks empty. What is the best way to slurp up the field values from a form? How can I enable strict and use barewords like Vars? What am I doing wrong with my hash reference ($q->Vars doesn't work either)? Below is a edited version, I have been trying some lots of variation to get it to work but alas nada. All I want to do is slurp up the text file being uploaded (not shown below), leave it in /tmp, then forward the whole process to another program with all the original field data intact. Thanx in advance.
