If you used "qq" so that the string would interpolate variables then it would create a link back to the current URL - including the query string. > print $q->start_form(-method=>'POST', You cannot create POST requests using a hyperlink, in HTML the only way to set this up is with a form. Additionally, since the data not sent using the query string then simply reading the query string won't include the same values. You would need to loop through the posted data and generate form controls (such as hidden inputs) for each value. Since the rest of your message discusses sorting of data, you should consider that GET is supposed to be used when retrieving any information from the server and POST when you are changing something. (This has implications such as GET being bookmarkable, and POST causing most browsers to warn about resubmitting data). -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
