Hello.

With CGI.pm Oo_style coding,
I use a form with GET method, it parses a textfield with name
attribute:
"participant".
I validate that parameter with Perl's substitute and match handlers in
order to make a file in "/tmp/SOMEDIR/" with names like :
"participant.scorefile".
In that file i regulary use the CGI function save() to save the satus
of
the form and it writes away an annoying trainling "=".

If that is the biggest annoyance you face, you are a lucky man indeed.

Not really, the biggest annoyance is errors in lines due to my own
stupidity or distraction.

$]cat /tmp/SCORES/JohnDoe.sorefile
gives this :
participant=JohnDoe
=

Have you bothered to read the documentation for the method you are using?

Not completely : my lazyness took it over and English is not my primary
language, so I thought i could post here and improve my English while learning Perl in deeper (grinns: "does this count as an excuse ?")

Why this trailing "=" sign ?

So that you can store multiple sessions states in one file, just as the
documentation says.

I will be back on that later, i am still in the documentation now :
testing out, reading, testing, reading..

Thank you for that answer though, it is makes sense but i don't really get it.
