You can read all the query param names into an array using the param method of cgi.cpm. Then you just loop through the array.
See: http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.29/CGI.pm#FETCHING_THE_NAMES_OF_ALL _THE_PARAMETERS_PASSED_TO_YOUR_SCRIPT: @params = $query->param foreach my $param ( @params ) { # do your stuff. Watch for params you don't care about (submit button,etc) next if $param eq "Submit" print "$param: $query->param($param)\n" } >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 12:20 PM >>To: beginners-cgi@perl.org >>Subject: Variable Name Survey Form Input >> >>Hi.
