Search the minivend docs for "stacked"; I think you will find it.
The above works just fine. The issue is how you decode it.
You need to split $CGI{myfield} on null, eg:
@myfield=split /\000/,$CGI{myfield};
Sorry, I don't know how to do that in vanilla minivend [tags]. We always
use perl nowadays.
If you open up your session file with an editor like emacs you will see
other examples of that syntax.
