Hi,

Environment:
Perl5.6.1 ( Active state )
CGI.pm

I'm running my 'Maintain.cgi' script in an explorer window (IE55). Among more buttons and 'things' defined, there is a <Start Filetran> button. When pressing the <Start Filetran> button, I want a new explorer window (IE55) to initialize, and run my filetran.cgi script within it. Both scripts resides in the same cgi-bin on the same IIS.

My existing 'Maintain.cgi' should remain in the original window, totally independend of the newly initialized IE55 window.

I Don't know how to ( from a cgi script ) initialize a new IE55 window, running another cgi script?

And on top of that, it would be handy to pass i string ( holding Hostname for filetran) to the new window.

Thanx to everone that will give some directions/advices on this one.

elsif ( param(DoFiletran) ) { ??? };

Regards
Sten
