My first question would be: Why use the $params at all, but many people like to do that sort of thing. my $file = '/some/temp_file'; open TMP, $file or die qq(Cannot open "$file": $!); my $cgi = CGI->new(); while ( <TMP> ) { chomp; my( $name, $value ) = split /::/; $cgi->param( $name, $value ); } close TMP; my $params = $cgi->Vars(); Or if it is clear to you: while ( <TMP> ) { chomp; $cgi->param( split /::/ ); } HTH, Charles K.
