in reply to Displaying another web page

This is a little difficult to answer without knowing what sort of authentication system you're using, and without seeing code that shows what you've tried so far. Can you give us some more information, and show us what you've done so far?

Have you already read the documentation for CGI.pm? What are you having trouble with, exactly?

    Hi Linda,
    Thnk you for fast response.
    Im using CGI::Session module.
    I have written print $cgi->redirect(-uri=>"http://localhost/reports.pl",-cookie=>$cookie)
    $cookie points to teh session variable which im initializing in the beginning of the program.
    now, as soon as user presses "login" button, my perl script has to show "reports.pl" page and should display the values stored in session variable.
    this is what i need actually.
    But, it is not going to reports.pl page.It remains in the same page.
    Pls help me Linda.

      When printing a redirect you need to make sure that is the only thing you are printing. Don't print a header before that.

        hi Eric,
        I removed the header which im printing before $cgi->redirect.<br? eventhough it is not going to the specified URL.
        Instead printing a message like
        Status: 301 Set-Cookie: CGISESSID=5ad97ae74acf2fd202ce63a7021cd576; path=/ Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 04:38:51 GMT location: http://localhost/reports.pl
        pls help me Eric.
        Thankx in advance.
