A couple of minor points. Firstly, using 'split(" ", $sites);' is going to split the variable up by spaces rather than '-'s. Simple fix though. (I guess its a typo?).

Secondly, grab yourself an HTML reference and read up on hidden form fields. The syntax is simply '<input type="hidden" name="varname" value="varvalue">' By replacing varvalue with an actual variable, and then using the form reply the information persists across the web pages. This can also be done using the CGI.pm modules 'print hidden' thingie.
