If you need a string without the particular parameters, you could easily regex them out:in the variable itself, but the query string of the CGI object is basically meant as a read-only attribute. Why not just work with the variable $q? Since the CGI module is basically object-oriented, the CGI way to do it would be to just let the internals of the CGI object be, use what you need, and leave the rest. It would probably help to know what actual effect you are trying to achieve that you see as requiring manipulation of the query string. JosephThread Previous | Thread Next
