Hi Jochem,
Mason will make all your form data available in the %ARGS hash, so if you
have a set of buttons like this:
<input type="submit" name="button1" value="Button 1" />
<input type="submit" name="button2" value="Button 2" />
<input type="submit" name="button3" value="Button 3" />
then you can test whether any of them was clicked by checking its key in the
%ARGS hash for a true value:
% if ( $ARGS{button1} ) {
<p>You pressed button 1</p>
% } elsif ( $ARGS{button2} ) {
<p>You pressed button 2</p>
% } elsif ( $ARGS{button3} ) {
<p>You pressed button 3</p>
% }
