I have login page in test.cgi.... how to pass user name('$user') to show.cgi page... or is there any way to retrive it in show.cgi page...any one please give me a way..

Below is the test.cgi script,

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser/;
use CGI::Session ( '-ip_match' );
my $q=new CGI;
my $user = $q->param('usr');
my $pwd = $q->param('pwd');
if($user ne '' and $pwd ne '')
{
if($user eq "monk" and $pwd eq "hi")
{
$session = new CGI::Session();
print $session->header(-location=>'show.cgi');
}
else
{
print $q->header(-type=>"text/html",-location=>"test.cgi");
}
}
elsif($q->param('action') eq 'logout')
{
$session = CGI::Session->load() or die CGI::Session->errstr;
$session->delete();
print $session->header(-location=>'test.cgi');
}
