The problem is that I don't understand this code that I exactly copied from a Web page tutorial. Can you folks point me to tutorials where I can learn to comprehend this code? Specifically, the line in question. How is it that one can code "params[key]" (what does that mean?) and the other side, what does that mean

If you got it from:

    Recipe 81547: Using a simple dictionary for CGI parameters
    http://code.activestate.com/recipes/81547/

then no, it wasn't "exactly copied". If you'd copy-and-pasted it then it
would've been correct, as well as much quicker to do...
