My problem was that I wasn't splitting my posted form data on the \n into my
@Draw.
And Tagore, yes, I was (at least at one time) calling it in scalar context.
Thank you Tagore and Fliptop (and everyone else who helped).
I hope this helps some other newbie sometime! I appreciate you putting up
with me for so many posts 8^) However, I'm sure that this will not be my
last post >8^) heh heh heh...
Bless both of you.

It's hard to know for sure without seeing the code where you initialize
@Draw. I went back and looked at earlier posts, and your initial problem
(the leading spaces) was because you were printing the array in
double-quoted context.
In terms of getting only the first element, you're using a succession of
hidden inputs with the same name, right? Are you calling $cgi->param in list
context? If you call it in scalar context you'll only get one value back.
So you would do it like this:
@Draw=$cgiobject->param('hiddendata');
but not:
$Draw=$cgiobject->param('hiddendata');
or
$Draw[0]=$cgiobject->param('hiddendata');
or
@Draw[0]=$cgiobject->param('hiddendata');
Anyway, without seing the code where @Draw is initialized it's hard to know,
but if you are doing one of the above, that's the problem.
Hope that helps.
