Well firstly, this has nothing to do with TT! > If I have some checkboxes like this: > > <input type="checkbox" name="options" value="1"> > <input type="checkbox" name="options" value="2"> > <input type="checkbox" name="options" value="3"> > > If I select 3 of these and submit, what gets posted to the CGI is this: > > options=1&options=2&options=3; And that is exactly what you would expect, no?

(You don't say, so I have to guess :( ) So if you look in its perldoc, it says: "Pass the param() method a single argument to fetch the value of the named parameter. If the parameter is multivalued (e.g. from multiple selections in a scrolling list), you can ask to receive an array. Otherwise the method will return a single value." So it is behaving as it's supposed to, no? And what you need to do is assign to an array instead of a scalar, to get the list of values.
