Hi,
I m learning CGI script; I have created two scripts one for login page and another one for home page.On successful login (I used redirectional header to navigate to home page), i have to display the username in home page; How can i pass the username to home page which is entered in login page.

My sample script is:
Login.cgi
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;
if(param('Login'))
{
#Validate user name and password; if valid user then
print redirect('http:\\localhost\cgi-bin\home.cgi');
else {print header;}
}
else{print header;}
print start_html('Login screen'),
start_form,
textfield(-name=>'username',-size=>50, -maxlength=>80);
textfield(-name=>'Password',-size=>50, -maxlength=>80);
submit('Login'),reset,
end_form;
end_html;



home.cgi

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;

print header,
start_html('home'),
start_form,
Welcome, username which is enetered in login screen
end_form;
end_html;
