You may want to have a look at CGI::FormBuilder. It's forms are sticky, and have both serverside and javascript validation.

It's neat.

Update I think that CGI.pm only makes forms "sticky" in as much as they preserve their values each time the form is submitted (ie CGI.pm automatically adds the value="stuff-from-form" when you use it's input method.

Even with this kind of stickyness, a link back to foo.cgi won't post the data to the form that foo.cgi generates, if you want to preserve data like that on the server side, you can look at CGI::Session, which will allow you to associate the contents of the form with an HTTP cookie sent to the browser.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
