I ran a quick test which showed that the actual name of the parameter getting posted is 'array_options[size]'. try: $size = $input->get('array_options[size]'); I suspect that if it works with CGI.pm that's due to some manipulations behind the scenes, but I don't really know... > > using CGI, like I have before, does not work either, is this because > RequestNotes already handles the POSTed vars? right, RequestNotes (which is really using Apache::Request for parsing) gobbles up the POSTed stuff at init (or wherever you run it) so it's no longer available for parsing by CGI.pm. I think I say something like this in the man page...
