I'm no CGI expert, but my best guess is that you are not going to be able to stop the user from resending the data, so you are going to have to make sure you ignore the resent data. I would do this by generating a random number in a hidden input field when creating the form. Then you can check that number to see if you've already gotten a POST with it, and ignore the second POST if that's the case.
