in thread another CGI question ... passing values to another script

You want one script to output HTML, such that when a user does something, the value the first script computed will be passed on to the second script?

If so, you can do two different things, depending on what "does something" means. If you want the user to fill out another form, and hit the submit button again, then use an input tag, with it's type attribute set to hidden -- the HTML spec has details.
