RE: [mv] multiple page arguments

["Christopher Thompson" <ct@arborinternet.com>]

Some thing like on the calling page:

[area href="mypage" arg="myarg1,myarg2"]

And then this on the called page:

[perl scratch]
my $arg = &tag_data('session', 'arg');
my @a = split(",", $arg);
$Safe{'scratch'}{'myscratch1'} = @a[0];
$Safe{'scratch'}{'myscratch2'} = @a[1];
[/perl]

Then the vars are with:

[scratch myscratch1]
[scratch myscratch2]

The Perl is kind of clunky, but it shows the basic steps. I am sure some
Perl guru give some better code, or even better a standard UserTag that
works just like split. Hope this helps.
