You can do it, because as Valdez says, a FORM can have a TARGET -- but what's going to happen to the first frame, the one the user's expecting to change? Something better happen, possibly you'll have to do it with JavaScript, or else they'll be clicking all day.

Also, why would you want to do this, and what will the user find when he or she spots what you're doing? What colour hat are you wearing?

Finally, what could you possibly want to do with this frame that you couldn't do in some other way with Perl? If you want to log their activities, do it with the Perl script you're accessing by writing to a log.
