If you want the values that are in the text field's to be there after the form is submitted, then you can do so by using CGI::textfield() to create the <input/> for you. Something like:

print "<TR><TD>",
   textfield(-name=>"key$i", -size=>13, -default=>$key),
   "</TR>\n"
;

Should do the trick. Addtionally, if you need to turn off this 'stickieness', add the override attribute and set it to one:

textfield(-name=>"key$i", -size=>13, -override=>1)

Hope this helps. :)

Oh yeah ... if you import the :standard pragma:

use CGI qw/:standard/;

Then you don't need to instantiate a CGI object yourself. Using :standard is using what is called the procedural interface - the methods are imported into your script's namespace. Actually instantiating an object is using what is called the object oriented interface. You should pick one and stick with it - which one you pick depends on what you need or what you have already coded. Since you have used the proceedural more than the OO, just remove this line:

my $new_cgi = new CGI;
[download]

and change the next line and only line that uses $new_cgi to:

my $full_url = url();
