Greg,

Radio buttons out of the question with Perl?

George,

<input type="checkbox" name="box1">Box1
<input type="checkbox" name="box2">Box2
<input type="checkbox" name="box3">Box3

would be accessed as follows:

$cgi->param('box1')
$cgi->param('box2')
$cgi->param('box3')

assuming $cgi is a CGI object instantiated like this:

use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;

You can also capture all parameters sent to your cgi program by
invoking the
param method without specifying the parameter as follows:

my @params = $cgi->param();

You can then check to make sure something was passed like this:

if ( scalar @params != 0 ) {
   #something passed in
} else {
   # Uh-oh
}

Greg,

Not sure what you mean by below.  By the way my 'submit' button is
specified as follows:

<input type=submit value=ENTER>

I'm particularily uncertain as to what you mean by -> 'The names of
your input elements are the names of your parameters that will be
accessible using the param method.'

George,

Take out the '?parm' from the form action and give your radio
buttons
different names. The names of your input elements are the names of
your
parameters that will be accessible using the param method.

Greg,

Did it and got the following:

Can't call method "param" on an undefined value at
/QOpenSys/perl/webwrap/dbtest4 line 13.

The HTML that invokes my Perl CGI is the following:

<form method=post action="/cgi-bin/dbtest4?parm">
<p>
<table border=0>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=parm
value="query"></td><td>Customer
bank codes & acct #</td></tr>
<p>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=parm
value="oscmd"></td><td>WRKCFGSTS
*NWS</td></tr>
<p>
<tr><td><input type=radio name=parm value="query3"></td><td>Not
enabled</td></tr>
</center></table>

The Perl that attempts to process the input is:

$myparm = $query->param('parm');
print $myparm;

Regards...George

George,

Use the post method then $query->param('param_name').

Greg

I invoke my CGI with the following passing it 'param'.

<form method=get action="/cgi-bin/dbtest4?parm">

I currently have the following code in my Perl CGI to try and
decode
what is occuring:

$query = new CGI;
print $query;

The print results in the following

CGI=HASH(0x200215a8)

Assuming that $query once initialized is a pointer to some data
I
attempt to use it as such and get bupkiss.

Can you suggest what is occurrring and how I might capture the
passed
parameter to use for control flow in my program?
