Subject: cgi#[] and 1.8



i know the 1.8 interface changed so that

  cgi['k'] no longer returns an Array - sigh.

now, i have a cgi program which is uploading MANY images, all under the same
name, eg the cgi looks like:

Exception:

#<CGI:0x4008e8f4
  @output_hidden=nil,
  @params={"action"=>[#<StringIO:0x401a41b4>],
           "desc"=>[#<StringIO:0x4008c824>, #<StringIO:0x40088828>],
           "item"=>[#<StringIO:0x4008df6c>],
	   "image"=>[#<StringIO:0x40084fc0>, #<StringIO:0x401aa118>,
                     #<StringIO:0x401a986c>, #<StringIO:0x401a8fc0>, #<StringIO:0x401a8714>,
                     #<StringIO:0x401a7e68>, #<StringIO:0x401a75bc>, #<StringIO:0x401a6d10>,
                     #<StringIO:0x401a6464>, #<StringIO:0x401a5bb8>, #<StringIO:0x401a530c>,
                     #<StringIO:0x401a4a60>]
          },
  @cookies={},
  @output_cookies=nil,
  @multipart=true>

Backtrace:

  /usr/local/httpd-2.0.47/htdocs/tom_knox/ebay/index.cgi:82

Content:

  nil

so i DO have an array of images... however.  cgi['image'] seems to return a
StringIO (not array of them) object?  anyone know how i get at the _array_ of images?
