Good evening brothers. I'm writing a cgi script in perl that calls other web pages. Theses web pages are infact php scripts that need to take parameters in order to display the correct information. Currently my script work fine when I don't have to pass any parameters and the pages are shown as expected. But when I try to pass some needed parameters these just get ignore, i.e. via a url http://www.asite.com/result.php?mode=n&color=blue&age=18

What I am trying is; 


$content = get("http://www.asite.com/result.php?mode=n&color=blue&age=
+18")

print "$content";

The way I call this via my broswer is; 
http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/my_perl.cgi?url=http://www.asite.com/res
+ult.php?mode=n&color=blue&age=18

[download]

Which seems to call the 'result.php' script but does not pass any parameters to it.
Any ideas why?
Am I using the right code?
Chris
