in thread CGI::param called in list context from package

A ha! It looks like CGI::Session is calling ->param in list context with arguments: https://metacpan.org/source/MARKSTOS/CGI-Session-4.48/lib/CGI/Session.pm#L364 The temp solution to this is to set the following in your code: $CGI::LIST_CONTEXT_WARN = 0 An issue needs to be raised against CGI::Session to change it to use multi_param or switch off the warning. The slight irony is that i took over maintenance of CGI from Mark, the current author of CGI::Session...

thanks! thats very helpful sir! I would like to add that during my testing i found that even calling save param with `$session->save_param(scalar $query->param('param_name'))` OR even `$session->save_param($query->param('param_name')` was causing my module to die without writing to the logs.

I'm not familiar with CGI::Session, but a quick look at the code shows that the first argument to save_param needs to be the $query object, and you're passing the return value from the call to $query->param, which will be a string, so that's probably why that code doesn't work.	[reply]

he he.. i just casually chatted online with mark earlier last week, about how i loved his contribution to CGI:Application. I find the api very intuitive (call me lame to still like CGI::Application :D) btw.. i am still getting the error in my logs..im not sure why. Do not wait to strike when the iron is hot!

You're getting the errors still even setting: `$CGI::LIST_CONTEXT_WARN = 0` in your code?	[reply] [d/l]
