Using Perl 5.22 on Ubuntu 16.04+Apache2.4+mod_perl when I call this test page: http://myserver/test_bug_array_params.html?Arr=uno&Arr=due&Arr=tre it respond: @Array = [ 'ARRAY(0x7fadc00093e0)' ] %ARGS = { 'Arr' => 'ARRAY(0x7fadc00093e0)' } Using Perl 5.14 on Ubuntu 12.04+Apache2.2+mod_perl the correct result is this: @Array = [ 'uno', 'due', 'tre' ] %ARGS = { 'Arr' => [ 'uno', 'due', 'tre' ] } test_bug_array_params.html test file: --------------------------------------- <%flags> inherit => undef </%flags> <%args> @Arr </%args> <%once> use Data::Dumper; </%once> @Array = <% Dumper(\@Arr) %><br> %ARGS = <% Dumper(\%ARGS) %> --------------------------------------- bye gdo

I have solved the problem! It is due to the use of a wrong plugin that I found many years ago at http://www.cybaea.net/Blogs/TechNotes/Mason-utf-8-clean.html (the link was deleted): # file .../lib/MasonX/Plugin/UTF8.pm package MasonX::Plugin::UTF8; use base qw(HTML::Mason::Plugin); use warnings; use strict; sub start_request_hook { my ( $self, $context ) = @_; my $args_ref = $context->args(); foreach my $arg ( @{$args_ref} ) { utf8::is_utf8($arg) || utf8::decode($arg); } return; } 1; The call "utf8::decode($arg)" replaces $arg Array rererence with "ARRAY(0x...)" string. Using old perl compiler this doesn't occur, but I think the strings in $arg arrays and hashes were not decoded! The wrong (incomplete using array and hash parameters) example is referenced at: https://sourceforge.net/p/mason/mailman/message/27614905/ but a better example that manages Arrays (but without Hashes) is reported here: http://www.mail-archive.com/mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03152.html In new Apache 2.4 environment the plugin is not necessary, I think; I have removed it and the old application now works correctly. bye gdo
