it seems (once again) that someone is looking for the elusive and wily CGI.pm module. check it out at CPAN. to send info, the best way seems to be form data. use either hidden fields or user-typed fields, depending on what data you're sending. to get this data back, use the param method from CGI.pm. check out the documentation for more info.

i can see jacque cousteau doing a special on this. <in a french accent> "we are here to search for ze wily and elusive CGI.pm. we must travel to the farthest reaches of CPAN to find zis mysterious beast. Oooh! Look, a glimpse of ze majestic creature."
