I haven't figured out the easiest way to describe what I need to do so that it is clear, but I will do my best here. Easiest to start with explaining what works I guess.

Using a web browser, I am browsing a site that is serving up pages using php. Some links trigger a server side script that pushes a url back down to the browser with an instant page refresh. I call 'server.com/page1.php?script' the browser next displays a url of 'server.com/results.php=xxx'.

I can move perl through calling web pages and such without a problem, I just have no idea how to get perl to see the results that are pushed down like this from a server side script.

This specific script is running right now on ActivePerl 5.8.x on Win32. If I can get it working properly here I can figure out how to port it to the other versions/os's that I need to work with.

If more clarification is needed then ask in a reply and I will give whatever info I can.

Thanks.
