[mv] v3.14 extracting [value mv_searchspec]

["Brent Worley" <brent@12ave.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Brent Worley" <brent@12ave.com>     ******

I appreciate the help thus far, but I have ran into a slight problem.  I
have built up mv_searchspec over several pages using javascript to seperate
the individual values by spaces:

function SetArgs()
  {
    var frm = document.mv_value;
    frm.mv_searchspec.value = "Sansabelt" + " " + frm.waist.value + " " +
frm.stride.value;
  }

I've used code similar to this on all the pages.  When I get to the last
page I am trying to extract the individual values using perl:

[perl scratch]
  my $msg = '[value mv_searchspec]';
  my @test = split(/\0/, $msg);
  $Safe{'scratch'}{'Manuf'}=@test[0];
  $Safe{'scratch'}{'Waist'}=@test[1];
  $Safe{'scratch'}{'Stride'}=@test[2];
  $Safe{'scratch'}{'Fabric'}=@test[3];
[/perl]

I've found code like this within the list archives and have yet to find
anything that works.  This is what happens:  Within this last page, I dump
all the scratch variables to the page to see what each array element was set
to.  Instead of returning what is in mv_searchspec I return [value
mv_searchspec] (<- that is what is actually displayed on the page).  I've
tried other types of delimiters, but to no avail.  This is the last part of
a very lengthy and important project, and I hate to know I've come this far
and cannot get pass one minor detail.  I'm not sure of the version of perl,
but I think it is fairly recent.  Any help anyone can offer will be greatly
appreciated.
