Dear subscribers,
I was in a modular mood and thought it might just be a good idea to
do the parsing of the querystring in a subroutine. The subroutine
goes into a separate file that I then 'require' in all my future
CGI-scripts (is this a good way?).
I thought it would be nice to return a hash with the key/value pairs
from my querystring. I was thinking of the following:
sub parseit
{
foreach $name ($q->(param))
{
$input{$name} = $q->param($name);
}
return \%input;
}
Because a subroutine cannot return a hash (or so I was told) I
instead return a reference to the hash. I'm not sure if this will
work. How would I access the data in my main cgi? Or am I making
things more difficult than they should be?
'There's always more than one way to do it' can be very confusing at times..
