DON'T do this! CGI was meant for passing form data. If you are learning CGI, do it in a straightforward manner, by putting a form in your web page. [Note you don't have to ever have the user interact with the form or its data, though, but that's a separate topic.] Just: <form name="test form" action="cgi-bin/yest_script.pl" mathod="POST"> <inpt type="hidden" name="test data" value="Yahoo, we got it through"> <input type="submit" value="Hit it!"> </form> Then grab the values sent with your CGI script, using maybe that Vars method. Don't meddle with the browser's business, unless you are ready to take on the business of creating a User Agent froms cratch.
