in mutiple selection list, how to get the selected item?

In Perl, the selected value will be passed along with the query string. U just have to decode the query string & get the value.

If ur select box has name 'sel_list',

if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} =~ /POST/i)
{
   read(STDIN, $cache, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
}
else
{
  $cache = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
}

   @pairs = split(/&/, $cache);
   foreach $pair (@pairs) {
      ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);

      $value =~ tr/+/ /;
      $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

      $FORM{$name} = $value;
   }

print "the selected value is $FORM{'sel_list'}";

Sorry, the first line shld read,

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} =~ /POST/i)

Actually the above correction wasn't necessary. I tried it only after I posted it !

the same method is used to get values from all form input contols

makerp:

thanks!, but $query->param('selection1')
should be arry of string, how to set up the array of string, and how to access?

@values = $query->param('selection1');
