This works for me.

If I post your form to this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw/:standard/;

my $q = new CGI;

my @params = $q->param;

print $q->header();
print $q->start_html;

foreach my $p (@params) {
        print $q->h5("$p => ". $q->param($p));
}
print end_html;


I get all the params that I entered. No arbitary numbers appened!

There are obviously other issues with your envirnoment or there is 
something in your script that you have not presented that causes this. I 
think you would be better advised to try and find the source of the 
problem that spend time trying to come up with work arounds.

Good luck,
