Seems to be a misunderstanding about what I mean when I say simply 'it doesn't work'. When it works, all is fine. I click on the submit button, and it calls the next cgi in line with the hidden field.

But when it doesn't work, it takes forever. It never calls the next CGI. And, from what I can see on the status bar on my browser, it is attempting to call the second CGI, but it is not providing it with the hidden field. Under both situations, the HTML code that my CGI generates (either with the CGI.PM or with simply print statements, looks OK. It is very perplexing.
