Hello Monks, I have a problem with user tracking, but I'm not
really sure where to begin.

I need to track users by username on every page on our
student information site. The problem is that the web
application doesn't support this and is closed source. I was
wondering if there is any way to grab the information that I
want in perl, log it and then pass that information on to
the next web page. Just so you know, it is a Red Hat Linux box
running apache. The student information system software is Web
Advisor.
Like I said, this one has got me stumped, and the
company that supports web advisor isn't much help at all. I
would appreciate any help you could give.

Thanks,
rlb3
