I know this issue has been covered a lot before, but I couldn't find any post that answered my question exactly.

I have a form that calls a cgi, but I have another script that needs to do some processing of the data before the final cgi is called. Through searching, I was able to find this, posted by Merlyn:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use CGI;
use strict;

my $agent = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $data = $agent->request(POST 'www.somewhere.com', [%original_CGI_Pa
+rams]);

#then print the data with CGI

[download]
Unfortunately, I can't use this approach, because the final CGI needs a cookie set on the client side. So, I would like to make something like this work:

print $cgi_query->redirect(POST 'www.somewhere.com', [%params]);

[download]
But, this doesn't work. Is there any way I can have the browser redierct to a POST like this?

Thanks,
ColonelPanic
