your assumption seems to be reasonable enough, the
implementation details may be the annoying part.

what I did would be the equivolent of:
my $account = param('account');
then since I wanted to stuff that into a @list_shrugged
I of course sent it off to a function that munged the $value
and handed me back a pretty
my @string = dtk_retArray($stuff);
that I felt happier to play with in perl proper....
cf:
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/src/unix/perl/UglyCode.txt
it's ugly, and should be essentially trashed and restarted...
but well, I was in a bit of a hurry - got the basics solved,
then started to, well, play with it....
you should never just play with perl code.... you
really should be proper about it.... you know, design
phase follows requirements analysis which followed the
market analysis review phase....
