using CGI module

I need to access a variable like this:  $cgi->param($variable);
This doesn't work.
But this works: $cgi->param('name');

The first try ($cgi->param($variable)) ends with a "Internal server error".

Thank you.

Please post a short but complete program that illustrates your observation.

"Internal server error" usually happens when Perl produces an error, and you
 can find the real error in your CGI error log (it's usually a lot more help
ful.) Or, if you don't mind visitors seeing the error messages, put

use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;

at the top of your page and the ISE message will include the error Perl retu
rned.
