I see no problem with that code, except I would write it as:

%w{addr1 addr2 city state zip country}.each do |part|
   puts %{<input type="hidden" name="#{part}" value="#{post[part]}" />}
end

You don't have another local variable named part, do you?

When you convert an array to a string, all the elements just get  
mashed together: %w{foo bar baz}.to_s -> "foobarbaz"
