[MTOS-dev] multiple checkboxes, app->param

Good morning,

>From the reading on CGI.pm I've done, given the following psuedo-HTML structure:

[ input type=checkbox name=uris value=uri1 checked /]
[ input type=checkbox name=uris value=uri2 checked /]
[ input type=checkbox name=uris value=uri3 /]

When submitted, the browser will send ?uris=uri1&uris=uri2 in the post params.

With CGI.pm (and by extension MT::App), to get the values of 'uris' as
an array, you would do:

my @uris = $app->param('uris');

Correct? I have some code that does exactly this, but I can't get more
than 1 URI, as a string, coming back via $app->param('uris'). Have I
misunderstood how this is supposed to work?
