See also CGI::Session::Tutorial.

But the answer you have already been given is correct. You need some way to 'transfer' the state from one form to the next, the most common way to do this is by using a cookie to carry just the session-id form form to form. You can, if necessary, do this with query strings, but this is somewhat messier and less transparent.

By using a framework such as CGI::Application and the session manager plug-in the whole process becomes even more transaprent.
