Passing an array to a web form in EmbPerl?

[Scott Chapman <sc...@lund.com>]

Hello,

I have a situation where I am dealing with a non-normalized 
database of computers sytems and want to pass the computer 
systems to a web form as an array.  

Say I have this:
field1 = Sytem 1 info
field2 = Sytem 2 info
field3 = Sytem 3 info

I want to call a EmbPerl script something like this:
www.host.com/script?systems={field1,field2,field3}&otherparm=othervalue

so that I can access the systems array in my embperl script.

Can I do this?  What syntax would I use?

would this work:  ?
www.host.com/script?systems=field1&systems=field2&systems=field3&otherparm=othervalue

TIA,
Scott

you can do:
www.host.com/script?system=field1&system=field2&system=field3

in this case you'll get a tab-separated list into $fdat{system} which
you can easily spread into an array with split.
