Each open() on a handle is independent of any previous I/O on that
handle.  What makes you think binmode() would last past any
explicit (or implicit) close()?

Why would you think "empty"?  Anyhow I can see the quotes.

Either you've done something wrong or found a bug in CGI.

Could you post a _minimal_ but _complete_ script please?

What I would think is that it printing a variable, which contains a string,
which just happens to look like the string you get when you stringify an
array reference.

Right, it does recognize references, which is why I think what you have is
not a reference, but string.

As opposed to what?  Where did your first example come from if not from
an actually submitted form?

Same as above.  This time, param returned a list of three strings.
The last of these three string just happens to look like what a stringified
array ref looks like.

I don't know what that means.

Yes.  Most likely, either the person filling in the form is doing something
perverse (like typing something that likes like a stringifed arrayref into
a form field), or the script that generated the form is doing something
perverse, like setting a stringified arrayref as a default value, or as the
value of a hidden form field.

The ARRAY() is not the container of form values that CGI.pm would be
returning.

No

It might be, but I'll post a test case.

Are you asking about using WWW:Mechanize to submit form data to a
website that includes a radio button group? Although I haven't done it,
try sending a form key=value pair of 'Type=Private' or 'Type=Pro', but
check the actual names of the buttons from the HTML source and not was
is used to label the buttons. Something like (untested and derived from
'Perl & LWP', Sean N. Burke, O'Reilly):

my $url = URI->new('http://www...');
$url->query_form( 'Type => 'Private');
my $response = LWP::UserAgent->new->get($url);

Someone is charging money for an emacs addon? Are they nuts? A lot of

many would actually pay for something that's useless without emacs?
Especially given the near-certainty that the price is almost pure

Given that in its out-of-the-box configuration it's well-nigh unusable
without a printed-out "cheat sheet" of some kind, of the sort that
were supposed to have died out in the 80s, getting it customized poses
something of a catch-22 for anyone trying to get started using it.

Imagine that a man invents a vehicle that's far safer and more
maneuverable than any existing vehicle. Imagine that the increased
safety comes from the fact that it has five wheels. Gratuitously, he
also has his own peculiar ideas regarding how one should control this
vehicle, and instead of giving it a normal car steering wheel, brake,
and gas pedal, he gives it two stick-like left and right throttle
controls, which can be pulled back to brake and even reverse the car,
pushed forwards to accelerate it, and positioned differently to cause
the vehicle to rotate -- even to rotate in place, obviating the need
for three-point turns and simplifying parallel parking somewhat.

Unfortunately, nobody used to a normal car is remotely comfortable
with these controls. They have a very steep learning curve and
numerous accidents result. It turns out there's even a conversion kit
available for replacing them with a normal steering wheel, brake, and
gas pedal, but getting the conversion kit without crashing on the way
to where you get it proves problematic because of the same unusual
controls you're trying to replace. All of the driving schools, of
course, teach the usual wheel-and-pedals method of controlling a motor
vehicle...

This seems to be a closer analogy with emacs versus normal Windows
text editors. Arguably even the weird controls are superior in some
way -- but only if you got used to them, which will never happen
because you'll abandon it for inability to be productive with it long
before that can happen, and also because the same clunky controls
hobble your access to the online help that would otherwise smooth the
path for you. The same problem plagues attempts to reconfigure the
controls to something more normal. And the computer-driving schools --
computer classes in ordinary school -- teach standard Windows UI
conventions (or their Macintosh equivalents, which correspond closely
to one another). If there is any formal training in emacs use, it's
effectively unobtainable due to obscurity and hard-to-findness,
geographical distance, expense, or even more than one of those
factors.

The above applies equally to vi and its derivatives, if not more so --
vi is like taking that same already-wacky car with the two separate
throttles and adding, in a fit of quaint nostalgia, the need to
actually crank-start its engine. ;)

Administrivia:

#The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup

NOTE: due to the current flood of worm email banging on ruby, the smtp
server on ruby has been shut off until further notice. 

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to

#To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
#where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.

#For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to

#sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
