Perl script has
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
use Data::Dump qw(dump);
In a global block
my $q = CGI->new;
print '<!--', dump($q), "-->\n";
and a little later
if ($DEBUG) {
print $q->hr;
print $q->p('Debugging: '), $q->Dump, $q->hr;
}
and in particular there is a parameter being passed, "orderby", which is set to 10, e.g
<li><strong>orderby</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>10</li>
A couple of the parameters direct execution of a subroutine, and in that subroutine
my $index = $q->param('orderby');
my $desc = $q->param('desc');
$index = 1 if not defined $index;
print "\n<!-- variables (index, desc) are ($index, $desc) -->\n" if
+$DEBUG;
but
<!-- variables (index, desc) are (1, ) -->
Why would index not be 10?
What am I missing?

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).
