#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use Data::Dumper;

my $form = new CGI; 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print Dumper($form->param());
print Dumper($form->keywords());


i have the following

cgi-bin/test.pl?a=###daa&b=234&f=12314


CGI.pm returns null for a, and doesnt not even recognize b or f

In my testing, any param that comes after the param that contains the # is
gone.
