cgi#[] and 1.8

[ahoward]

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?
