Is reading the documentation "some bother"?

-nosticky
By default the CGI module implements a state-preserving
behavior called "sticky" fields. The way this works is that if you are
regenerating a form, the methods that generate the form field values
will interrogate param() to see if similarly-named parameters are
present in the query string. If they find a like-named parameter, they
will use it to set their default values.

Sometimes this isn't what you want. The -nosticky pragma
prevents this behavior. You can also selectively change the sticky
behavior in each element that you generate.
