Well, you didn't specify this in your original post. OK, fine. Here's a solution: Put your params that you need for the CGI into a series of hidden form fields. Then call a form submit from your link via a JavaScript call.

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Some Page</TITLE>

</HEAD><BODY bgcolor="#ffffff">

<FORM name=theform method=post action="/cgi-bin/script.cgi">
<INPUT type=hidden name=ID value=1>
<INPUT type=hidden name=NAME value=ME>
<INPUT type=hidden name=YOU value=YOU>
<INPUT type=hidden name=HIM value=HIM>
</FORM>

<P>Here's a <A 
href="javascript:document.theform.submit();">link</a> for you.</P>

</BODY></HTML>

Update: It was pointed out to me that not everyone uses JavaScript, and not everyone can use it. So this won't be an option that works perfectly for everyone, but it's all I could think of...
