Yes, I assumed it is trying to help me ...
But don't want it's (CGI's) help ... in this case
Any one know how to stop it ... I do a $q->new CGI after getting my values
from the post ; and yes I use $q->endform;

If youre using the CGI.pm module, theres most likely a
subroutine or other
part of your code that is explicitly printing these hidden
fields, in an
attempt to maintain state between successive invocations of
your script
(assuming you have a multipage form). Check for a line
something like
"print hidden(-name='.cgifields')"
But then again its hard to diagnose any problem without
seeing your source
code ;)
