Another potential solution is to use the GET method instead of POST. However, GET has a 256 character limit on some servers which means this might not be the solution for you if the results of your form are longer than that.

If you are using CGI.pm, you shouldn't have to change the code for generating the print page at all. You would just need to change the method of your form.

One thing to be aware of though is that because a GET CGI query is all in the location the following happen:

• All the data they entered goes into your log
• A caching server somewhere in the client's network may cache the results for the next person from that network
• Because all the data goes with the request URL, administrators catching URLs (or any sniffer for that matter) on the network can see what someone entered.

Just some things to consider.
