UPDATE: in re-reading, it appears that you are wanting the form var to appear in the browser location field for a POSTed form. If this is the case, then I am not sure there is a solution

I realize that I can access it using a hidden form parameter, but I like to put it in the action value so that it is viewable in the browser. This way when a user bookmarks it, or something like that, it bookmarks that page and not the main page.

perl -pe "s/\b;([st])/'\1/mg"

To expand a little on the suggestion above, PATH_INFO is added like this:

# url
my.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi

# url with path info
my.domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi/path_info_here

The path info is then available in $ENV{'PATH_INFO'}

my $Qpost = new CGI();
my $Qquery = new CGI($ENV{QUERY_STRING});
