First, thanks for your responses and explanations. I admit I burst into laughter when I read #6... the idea that I might roll my own when I can barely read and understand any POD... <giggle> I just wish it were even possible to roll my own at this stage! ;-)

I've been trying to play with CGI::Session, but I can't get it to work for me. I don't know if it's because I'm trying to save ALL my CGI form variables PLUS my TMPL_VAR variables... Is that even possible?

As for CGI.pm, wouldn't CGI.pm's "stickyness" be the default behavior? I see where there's a pragma called "-nosticky". I can't seem to pass the variables to the second script, even though I successfully passed them to the first script (and I suspect it's because the variables were in a form and CGI.pm likes that). So, am I correct in my understanding that CGI.pm won't pass the form variables a second time because there's no form?

edited: left the following question out...

Now, on to item #2... that's intriguing. I'd like to make sure I understand what you're saying. I can save all my template variables in an array, then pass that array over to the template and somehow (don't know how yet) I can then "extract" them into individual items I can use? Did I get that right?

Thanks!

Lori
