Hi Monks, I found a node 140177 on referring urls, reccomending a $ENV referrer call. This only linked me back to my cgi-bin, not to the script, much less the full data-encrusted URL. This later case is what I'm shooting for.

<a href=\"$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}
\">

This is right up perls alley, right? Also, if a (6 month old) node grows in the forest, will anyone be there to read it?

Thanks in Advance,
Mark

Thanks to everyone who answered my AM post about abs paths for dirtests.
