[htmltmpl] HTML::Pager persist_var

[Greg J. <gr...@al...>]

Could someone enlighten me on the proper way to pass an array ref to  this 
part of the new() call ?

I've tried  persist_vars => [@$array ]

WHERE :

@array = ("PostalCode", $searchZip);
$array = \@array;
$SearchZip = 99654;

it works but I get  the following printed  to the template:

<input type="hidden" name="PostalCode" value="99654" />
<input type="hidden" name="99654" value="" />

as you can see the second part of the array  is repeated .

I've tried variations , each time an additional  line is produced  duplicating 
the second  item in the array or just produces a string value  or fails

I've tried  persist_vars => [@array ]
I've tried  persist_vars => [$array ]
even passing  the value directly like:
  persist_vars => [ 'PostalCode', '$searchZip']

He I'm not  claiming to be a perl expert , I don't  work with  refrences as 
much as I should  so  please  be  easy on me : )

i would like to be able to pass up to 14 different name value pairs to produce 
14 different hidden input fields , I'm sure I must be passing the array ref 
wrong , but Evey thing i try produces  bad results.

Can some one give me a clue ? 


thanks for any help
