Your question is a little bit hazy... if you mean that you want a link to push content into a different frame, then refer to that other frame (by name) in the target of the <a href...> tage or the <form ...> tag that is pushing the request.

If what you mean is that you've loaded a page into frame X, but want (as a result of loading that page) to alter content in a different frame, then you can do this with simple javascript (not sure how browser portable this is or isn't... try it yourself!): 

print "
   <script language=jscript>
   top.$frameName.document.innerHTML = ...
   </script>
";

or however you want to manipulate the innerHTML of that document.

Or, you can (more simply) just push a new page into that other frame: 

print "
   <script language=jscript>
   top.$frameName.document.location = '$other_page.pl';
   </script>
";

That sort of thing. Good luck.
