Well what I wanted to do was this:
Take the value of a param, remove it and replace it with something else based on what
the original param was:
Joe=mama&do=this
If($do = 'this') { $work = 'hard'; } else { $work = 'lazy'; }
Joe=mama&work=$work
Then I use this string to as an argument to a backtick execution.
It's to verify input and an extra layer to keep evil things out.
The CGI delete() function did the trick for this.
Thanks
