posting data with an HTTP redirection

[naq2]

This is not documented in the CPAN documentation on the CGI module.

Normally, to do some HTTP redirection, I'll use:

print $myCGI->redirect("[URL unfurl="true"]http://mynewurl.com/toto.html")[/URL] ;

This is great... but... what happens if I want to post data to this URL I'm asking for a redirection.
How do I do this?

Thanks for you help.

Are you against printing out a form with the data in hidden fields and then submitting it onLoad?

I don't know right off-hand a way to do it directly from the server.

I simply can't use such a solution, because the output is not going to a web browser. :S

print $myCGI->redirect("[URL unfurl="true"]http://mynewurl.com/toto.html?var1=data&var2=data2")[/URL] ;

is how I'd normally pass data to a cgi script, but html, dunno.
I suppose you could write some javascript to poplulate your form variables from the Query String
