Hi,

I am new to Perl CGI and I am having problem on with refreshing page.

I am using

<meta HTTP-EQUIV='REFRESH' content='10;url=/user/statusdisplay.cgi'> to refresh the page once every 10 seconds.

But on refreshing I am loosing few environment vareables like,

$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} is brcoming "0" and
$ENV{HTTP_REFERER} is not available.

I do have few checks in the begining of the script to determine the calling page and since $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} is not available on refresh some of my conditions fail and the application doesnot work properly.

Is there any alternate way to retain these values even on refresh?
