Passing variables to ASP

[Tom123]

Hi,

I am a Perl Rookie who is having a problem passing variables to ASP pages. I have tried two methods but have problems with these -

1) Create the redirect page in PERL and pass the variables in that ie ?name=xxxx&password=xxxxx
This is not the most ideal situation as I would like to hide the variables

2) Cookies. Again I am not too happy with this for a session only login, besides I am having problems reading in the cookie in my ASP page.

My questions are - Can I pass the variables in the ASP call and HIDE them?
Can I access the Session variable in Perl and then use it in the next ASP page?

Any help on this issue would be great.

Thanks,

Tom

I take it that this cannot be done.

you could pass them in a querystring to your asp, then redirect to another asp after storing them in a cookie. luciddream@subdimension.com

using a query string like that is a GET request. there is also the POST request method which is a little more obfuscated from the user's point of view. i'm not sure on the details of performing one from within a script, but i'm willing to bet either the CGI modules or the LWP ones have info on how to....

good luck. "If you think you're too small to make a difference, try spending a night in a closed tent with a mosquito."
