This will take some doing. Currently I'm pulling the fileds/values in
from the form and placing them in another hash that is passed around
script for adding to and modifying.
my $SignUp = new CGI
my %SUI;
...
my @PARAMS = $SignUp->param;
map {$SUI{$_} = $SignUp->param($_)} @PARAMS;
and then I slice and dice %SUI
This seemed to make more sense and was less typing then
$SignUp->param(gets_report) = 'T'; (Have I got this right?)

I'd love to but my coding jumps from from type of project to another. I
never get a chance to come close to mastering CGI.pm. Also I'm qiute
often given designs done in Frontpage or Dreamweaver and I am unwilling to
translate that to good clean xhtml since about 3 seconds after I get it
done a totally new design will come out.
I have done a few scripts without TT using CGI before I discovered TT.
Now the design is looked into the code so I have to modify the look
(there's job security coming back.)
But your example using CGI with TT will make me re-look at several project
for recoding. The think I really link is I can display the template file
and tweak the layout and not worry too much about the back-end coding.
Praise be to the lords of perl!
