Actually, you have some other chooses, but that quite risky to ensure you are doing the right thing you expected. First choice : <form method='post' action='http://....the_3rd_pts' onsubmit=do_some_modify()> .... </form> # End up at foreign. Second choice : Pick data from your user, and do some modify, then gen the data with uri_escped ( perldoc -m URI::Escape ) string like : $data = 'b=10&t=A%20%20' , and print "Location:http://.....3rd_pts.asp?$data\n\n";. # End up at foreign. Third choice : use LWP::UserAgent; new LWP::UserAgent; my $result = $ua -> do_something ; ...... print $result -> content; # End up in local. That cannot be done if the 3 party side set some check points like, HTTP_REFERER, REQUEST_METHOD, Cookies.... etc. Besides, the side effect if end up in local is if there are links inside the result page does not set the href base, all becomes dead link ! unless you do much more to capture the whole page's content and fulfill the href based links. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
