Probably not a very perlish question, but maybe a perlish solution for that :
I have a perl-script, which extracts pictures from a database and displays them among each other (each got a specifc anchor tag).
By click on one of them a new page with the 'clicked' picture in large size is displayed.

Now there is a back Button, which refers to the 'multipicture' page.
I like to jump back to exactly the 'last clicked' picture in that column of small-pics.
Normally I can build this backlink by doing a  <a href="http://server.where.ever.de/showallpics.html#lastpic"> back </a> But in my case my showallpics.html is a perl-script (i.e. showallpics.pl).

The question is, how can I jump to a specific anchor in a cgi-script ?

href="http://server.where.ever.de/cgi-bin/showallpics.pl#lastpic"> bac
+k </a>
href="http://server.where.ever.de/cgi-bin/showallpics.pl?#lastpic"> ba
+ck </a>

Both above does not work ...
Any help would be very welcome ;-)

Cheers
