In CCS 3.0.3.1:

If you submit multiple value field such as checkbox list there is an error in CCConvertEncodingHash that cause it to erase the values:
When the fucntion checks if fields are ARRAY or HASH using the following code:
if (ref $val =~ /ARRAY/) {
CCConvertEncodingArray($val, $from, $to);
} elsif (ref $val =~ /HASH/) {
CCConvertEncodingHash($val, $from, $to);
} else {
$val = CCConvertEncoding($val, $from, $to);
}

There is a bug in evaluating - instead of evaluting ref $val and then checking it against the RE (/ARRAY/) first it is checked against the /ARRAY/ and the result is evaluated by ref which will be always ''

You should change the ref to ref() in the code to:
if (ref ($val) =~ /ARRAY/) {
CCConvertEncodingArray($val, $from, $to);
} elsif (ref ($val) =~ /HASH/) {
CCConvertEncodingHash($val, $from, $to);
} else {
$val = CCConvertEncoding($val, $from, $to);
}

I checked this with perl 5.8.7 from activestate

I submited the bug to support, this is just to let you know

A way around the bug:

my @reasons = $cgi->param("reject_reasons");

where "reject_reasons" is the field name
what is returned is an array with the values.

However the values are not encoded in the right encoding unless you use only 7bit ASCII code
