i have 4 pages.
page1.html is a simple html form.
page2.pl is a form based on the submissions from page1.html. it submits to page3.pl for processing.

now page4.pl is the tricky part. there is a mini-form on each of the perl pages where users can submit suggestions. upon submitting this form, i do a redirect back to where the user came from, HTTP_REFERER and I want to be able to pass some hidden variables back to that form so it gets generated exactly how it was before. Is my problem clear? Basically I want a way to automatically submit form variables through a META redirected page. Any ideas? Thanks much Mike

well duh. i should have read the environment variables section more carefully. i was trying to append the query string on the end of the referer environment variable and ended up with something that couldn't be parsed correctly. So, now i just use the refered variable and it works like a champ. Mike
