<div>
That will set the variables<br />
$kitchen, $oven, $grill<br />
&nbsp;Which can be dangerous because someone might get you to set variables like $/ or $^I

You probably want someting like<br />
@appliances = $q-&gt;param('kitchen');
</div>


You probably want someting like
@appliances = $q->param('kitchen');

<div>
#or do you want<br />
$kitchen=join',',$q-&gt;param<wbr />('kitchen'<wbr />);

#or do you want
$kitchen=join',',$q->param('kitchen');

ozo's solutions are probably what you need. &nbsp;You could also load everything into a hash, eg:<br />
<br />
%form = $q-&gt;Vars;<br />
<br />
print $form{'kitchen'};<br />
<br />

Hi there, <br />
<br />
I am trying to parse a huge form with about a billion checkboxes! well quite a few, with different sections having the same checkbox name (in the below example called kitchen), so as I can receive the data in the following format....<br />
<br />
kitchen=sink,oven,grill<br />
<br />
where the checkboxes sink,oven and grill have been checked respectivly.<br />
<br />
However, all I receive is up to the first value, in this case sink, without the others on the end.<br />
<br />
I am parsing the data using the following format....<br />
<br />
@names = $q-&gt;param;<br />
foreach $varname (@names)<br />
{<br />
$passthrough=$q-&gt;param($va<wbr />rname);<br />
&nbsp;$$varname = $passthrough ;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
Is it something to do with this??

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
