[Catalyst] Not really a catalyst matter

[Will Smith]

this question is kind of dumb, but it just does not work for me
 
my $artist= cd::M::CDBI::Artist->search(name=>$c->req->param(myartist));
 
on the template, if i choose to submit the form with the field named "myartist", it works fine. But if I use the onchange event for that same field, a select box (or text box), it says that:
 
[Tue Nov  8 17:28:40 2005] [catalyst] [error] Caught exception "Can't use string
 ("name") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at C:/Perl/site/lib/Class/DBI
.pm line 1091."
