If I am understanding your question correctly, yes, you can use CGI.pm to do this. Just do: $q->param('DELIVERMESSAGE') where $q is the instance of CGI. That will give you the value of DELIVERMESSAGE (in the example below, it would be "bar"), if you are using it as www.foo.com/MyScript.cgi?DELIVERMESSAGE=bar
As for the Comms-Branch bit, I'm not sure either, are you using any sessions or cookies?
