working with cgi.pm i`ve got exactly the opposite as my problem, i.e. i can`t get rid of the "sticky" hidden values creating the distinct page from the same pl script and using the same names for the hidden fields... use cgi; my $q=new cgi; sub page1{ print $q->textfield(-name=>'bla'); } sub page2{ print $q->hidden(-name=>'bla',-value=>'what ever i put will come out as value from form'); } etc... how can i get round this? oh, tried use cgi (-nosticky); as described by lincoln stein... too dumb tim looking for someone smart with a big heart?
