It sounds like you're saying it's a little more involved than I thought, and I need to actually *learn* Perl (imagine that!) to do what I'm trying to do. Well, I'd like to get the survey to work in the meantime, so I'll stop trying to enter the URL as a variable and instead just hardcode the URL directly into the script. This means I'll have to have a separate script for each survey (I have 2), but at least it will work while I learn how to use the variable.
