Hi,
I have a perl program that has an include directive calling another Perl program in
it. The
structure is somewhat as follows
first.pl
----------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
require "second.pl"
$q = new CGI;
print $q->hidden(-name='first', value='1');
second($q);
End of first.pl
----------------
second.pl
----------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
sub second{
use CGI;
my ($q) = @_;
my $first = $q->param('first');
print $q->hidden(-name='second', value=$first); // This does NOT WORK
print $first; // This WORKS!!!
}
End of second.pl
----------------
My problem is when first.pl loads, and then when I click it's Submit button, it calls
itself (I
havent pasted all that code here). Now it has to execute second.pl. However within
second.pl, it
is somehow not able to assign the value of $first to the hidden variable 'second'. I
did a 'View
Source' and the value field for 'second' comes up blank. I know that the $first
variable is
getting the correct value as the print command just below the hidden field definition
works.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
