Am I missing something? In cgi1.cgi, have it generate the following HTML:

<form action="cgi2.cgi">
[download]

There are several ways to accomplish that, from:

print "<form action=\"cgi2.cgi\">\n";
[download]

... to ...

use CGI qw/:standard/;

# ...

print start_form( -action=>'cgi2.cgi' );
[download]

But I won't presume to guess what style you're following. With a careful read of the appropriate documentation, I'm sure you can decide which route to take.

$/  =  q#(\w)#  ;  sub  sig { print scalar reverse  join  ' ',  @_  } 
+ sig
map { s$\$/\$/$\$2\$1$g && $_ } split( ' ', ",erckha rlPe erthnoa stJu
+" );
