( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Your question is not very clear, and I think it would help a lot if you showed some code.

That having been said, when setting a parameter using CGI.pm, you need to know that CGI.pm does not override existing parameters unless you tell it to. So if 'whatever' is already a parameter, and you want CGI.pm to change it, you need to pass it the -override => 1 option to your call to param.

The same thing shouldn't be happening when using the CGI::Application param method (which has absolutely no relation to the CGI.pm param method). So since you are not seeing the parameter you set in your runmode, then I have to think it was a coding mistake on your part, or you are expecting this info to stay persistent across multiple browser requests. Since you are taking about 'previous page' and 'next page', I am guessing that your problem is with persistence.

The first thing I would check is to make sure that your cgiapp_prerun is actually being executed during the request. Have you put a print statement in there to confirm that it is running?

Failing that, try using the CGI::Application::Plugin::Session plugin which will give you a session that is persistent across requests to see if that solves your problem

use CGI::Application::Plugin::Session; sub cgiapp_prerun { my $self = shift; $self->session->param(whatever => 123); } sub my_runmode { my $self = shift; my $whatever = $self->session->param('whatever'); }

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.
