I have a script with the following code 
print start_form(-method=>"post",
                         -action=>"$URL&TOQUEUE=$toq&JOBID=$jid",
                         -enctype=>"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
+);

when I look at the source that my browser gets, I get the following, which are the original params passed to the script. Im not sure what im doing wrong here, Ive read the cgi documentation and its working fine elsewhere in the script - so Im thinking its the data being passed. Any ideas? 
<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/queue.cgi?queue=R_NETADMIN&amp;su
+bsys=cups&amp;remote=Local&amp;server=rlinux1&amp;qstat=enabled&amp;p
+stat=disabled" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

Im not getting any errors via command line either.

Thanks in advance for any direction you can point me in

UPDATE
how can I pass variable data from a textfield back? Without using action= ?
