Try checking out the Categorized Q&A questions in the CGI programming section. In particular, this might be what you're looking for: carrying a lot of vars from page to page with hidden(). Basically, your first script just builds a `<form method=post action=my_second_script>` with a bunch of `<input type=hidden...>` fields. Alan	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Buy a stamp :) Or, more seriously, look at the libwww bundle of modules from CPAN. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000, ICA, London <http://www.yapc.org/Europe/>	[reply]

it seems (once again) that someone is looking for the elusive and wily CGI.pm module. check it out at CPAN. to send info, the best way seems to be form data. use either hidden fields or user-typed fields, depending on what data you're sending. to get this data back, use the param method from CGI.pm. check out the documentation for more info. i can see jacque cousteau doing a special on this. <in a french accent> "we are here to search for ze wily and elusive CGI.pm. we must travel to the farthest reaches of CPAN to find zis mysterious beast. Oooh! Look, a glimpse of ze majestic creature."	[reply]

A complete solution. script1.cgi `#!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; my $cgi = new CGI; print $cgi->header(); print <<EOM; <form method="post" action="script2.cgi> <input type="submit" name="Name" value="Value"> </form> EOM` [download] script2.cgi `#!/usr/bin/perl use CGI; my $cgi = new CGI; if ($cgi->param('Name') eq 'Value') { #your code here ... refer to by $cgi->param('var') }` [download] And this is perl, and other people have other ways of doing it.
