title: perl CGI, differences with param vs Var
body: <p>I do this in my cgi perl script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my %USER_HTML_INPUT = Vars();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I noticed that if have an array of data assigned to one key it becomes like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$VAR= {'tempvalue' =&gt; '0�25�85�125' }; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If i do @DATA = param('tempvalue'); It splits the values into the array.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do the same operation without using param function.?</p>
