Actually the form has several checkboxes with the same name. I figured it out though.
The script went through all params in a loop in scalar context so that made that param
a single value.
SO the correct format I found to be
@array $cgi->param('checkbox');
The above does get an array but only if you havn't done any kind of manipulation to it
in scalar contect previously
Foreach $p(@params) { ...
Thanks

Have you generated a checkbox with
$cgi->checkbox (-name => 'checkboxname', ...)
because this will create only an isolated single checkbox. To create a group of
checkboxes use
$cgi->checkbox_group (-name => 'groupname', ...)
which will then return a list of only the _checked_ boxes when
$cgi->param ('groupname')
is called.
HTH,
