Redux: [mv] Settings Scratch Variables Via An Outside Link

["Ed LaFrance" <edl@newmediaems.com>]

Oh...scraaaaatch variables. You say scratch in your message, but then 
reference form variables (like [value foo]) in your example.

For scratch variables I would probably use the session argument.  You could 
use something like colon to separate values, then capture then with:

[if session arg]
  [perl arg="scratch" interpolate=1]
     my $arg_string = "[data session arg]";
     my @args = split(/:/, $arg_string);
     $Safe{scratch}->{foo} = $arg[0];
     $Safe{scratch}->{bar} = $arg[1];
     return;
  [/perl]
[/if]

This is untested, but I hope you get the idea.

For example:
