use CGI; my $cgi = CGI->new; for ($ENV{QUERY_STRING}) { delete $cgi->{param}{keywords} if length && !/[&=]/; } ... rest of the code goes here ...

Of course, the better answer is: stop using CGI.pm; use Plack.

PS: yes, it does have to do with <isindex>. This is a very old HTML tag that was the predecessor to modern HTML forms. It submitted just a single field which was intended as a "search" field. Because only a single field was ever submitted, there was no need for the "&fieldname=" bits of the query string. Thus CGI.pm assumes that when there is no ampersand nor equals sign in the query string, an isindex-style query has been made.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
