(Embperl) blank fields not appearing in %fdat and @ffld
I have this problem where blank text fields in a <form> aren't
appearing in the %fdat hash and @ffld array in the submit page...
I was wondering if this is a bug in Embperl or some configuration
thing that I've overlooked. (the form's going to a submit that
needs to be able to set db fields to be blank & form field
names correspond directly to db fields).

here it is from the documentation:
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/Embperl.pod.3.html#EMBPERL_OPTIONS
optAllFormData = 8192
This option will cause Embperl to insert all formfields in
%fdat and @ffld, even if
they are empty. Empty formfields will be inserted with an
empty string. Without this
option empty formfields will not be insert in %fdat and
@ffld.

You need to set the option optAllFormData in EMBPERL_OPTIONS to get the
desired behaviour. Embperl normaly strips out blanks form fields in %fdat.
