Re: Can't modify variable received from CGI parameter

in reply to Can't modify variable received from CGI parameter

Altenatively, you could use the '-override' flag, which emoves the stickiness and forces CGI.pm to always use the 'default' value.

print $cgi->hidden(
        -name    => 'species',
        -default=> $species,
        -override => 1,
        );

Cheers, Ben.
