Hi,

I like, values is an Array object. because,
value, value, value, ...  : It's Array.
value                     : if only one value ... still Array.


I wish, please use cgi.params.

  cgi.params["key"].each{|value| foo(value) }

This code is clear. because, cgi.params return Hash object.
and, values is an Array object, and CGI object is *not* Hash object.

yes, it is very important.

cgi.params["key"] is used a lot. and, It's a little long.
therefore, cgi["key"] interface was prepared.

....

I think cgi["key"] return a String object is good.

  cgi.params["key"].each{|value| foo(value) }

or, if it is clear that values has only one value,

  foo(cgi["key"])
