Have a look at LWP and in particular LWP::UserAgent - you could
use the post() method to submit your parameters to the other
CGI program. As an added bonus, you can examine the result of
the operation and report success or failure to your users.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
sub post_url {
my( $url, $formref ) = @_;
my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(timeout => 300);
$ua->agent('perlproc/1.0');
my $response = $ua->post($url, $formref );
if( $response->is_success ){
return $response->content;
} else {
return undef;
}
}
my $url = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/listcgiparam.cgi";;
my %param = ( 'foo' => 'bar', 'email' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' );
print post_url( $url, \%param );
HTH,
Thomas
