This one's for all you people who have tried a bit of WAP programming. I'm trying to create a login script that allows registered users to log in and displays a page with hyperlinks to other cards within the deck. The card I'm using to test this is the viewroutes card and the problem is that when I select that hyperlink, it takes me to the card which displays the wrong username message. 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

$ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = '/opt/ORACLErdbms/V8.0.6.0';

use DBI;    
use CGI;

$query = new CGI;    

$username = $query->param('username');        
$password = $query->param('password');    

$dbh = DBI->connect('DBI:Oracle:eimora','cs72dc','cs72dc')
    || die "Cannot connect: $DBI::errstr";
$verify = "SELECT user_name,user_pass FROM users WHERE user_name = \'$
+username\'";
$mine = $dbh->prepare($verify)
    || die "Cannot prepare statement: DBI::errstr";
$mine->execute
    || die "Cannot execute statement: DBI::errstr";

($test_username,$test_password) = $mine->fetchrow_array();
$mine->finish;

if (($test_username eq $username) && ($test_username ne $null)) {
    if (($test_password eq $password) && ($test_password ne $null)) {

        $statement = "SELECT route FROM history WHERE username=\'$user
+name\'";
        $mine = $dbh->prepare($statement)
            || die "Cannot prepare statement: DBI::errstr";
        $mine->execute
            || die "Cannot execute statement: DBI::errstr";
        $route = $mine->fetchrow_array();
        $mine->finish;

print<<"EOF";
