(Replying in general, to the sense of this email which others have related too) Dermot, to my reading at least, has been clear twice now that he was asking specifically about how to retrieve parameters -- presumably not coming to a web framework list for an unsolicited computer science lecture on encapsulation... I think it behooves us as a community to afford posters when they clearly articulate a question and context, as Dermot has*, not to treat them as complete noobs. It'd be a shame if folks became reluctant to ask 'simple' questions for fear of half a dozen catalyst old-skoolers delivering a sermon. (Even these questions often reveal useful tidbits like the CGI compat hazard.) Paul * not the OP! _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
