in reply to info from one page to another.

This is what I usually do to pass additional information to the script. This is usually stuff that a user entered before (like user name and password ). 
<form method="post" action="./yourscript.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="cinfo" value=$cinfo>
</form>

Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    So how would I get this to come up on the next page? Would it just be:

    print "$cinfo";???

      Ok, now I see what you're asking. 
      <form method="post" action="./yourscript.pl">
<input type="hidden" name="cinfo" value=$cinfo>
<input type="Submit">
</form>

      Ok, when you hit the submit button in the browser then you get the values you sent by doing this: 
      # Look this Package up on Perlmonks to learn more about it
use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $Query = new CGI;

# Get the parameter from the Query string by the name of
# the field
my $cinfo = $Query->param('cinfo'); 
print $Query->header();
print $cinfo;
