match question

Input from a form looks like
A=1&B=2&C=3

I am trying to match
/B=+[&||s]/ # which should match B=2
but I want to assign the match to a variable like this
$_= "A=1&B=2&;C=3";
$B = /B=+&/;

Why do I want to do this?
I thought it would be more secure to do this instead of
splitting the input at the "&;"'s
and then again at the "="'s
and then assign the names and values to hashes
$Input{$key}=$Value

this way I just take form the input string exactly what I need and ignore
the rest.
it also makes it easier to just pass the $input to a subroutine or a package

So... ok.. I'm probly doing it all wrong... i'm am amature perl programer
who programs for fun.
thanks
Lou

The code below is a option for do what you want:

<code&gt;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

if (param) {
subrotineBlah(param('B'));
}
</code>
