You can do this from an exported method:

use CGI qw/:standard/;
sub thing : Exported {
my ($self, $r) = @_;
my $year = &getYear($args); # internal "private" sub imported into the same namespace - usually by being in the same file as the caller
# etc
my $url = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/my_db.cgi/some_table/list/? year=$year&month=$month&day=$day"; print redirect ($url); # you might have to use the cgi the OO way depending on your setup.
}

So go to http://localhost/some_table/thing and you're redirected to today's search. You could also do this in the browser with a static page with some javascript to calculate the form's action url based on whatever criteria you chose.

You could provide a link to these searches with templates using the TT Date plugin see Template::Plugin::Date for details.


Hi all,

I imagine this should be a simple task, but don't know where to start.

I want a page where I retrieve today's results from a file. I can do this easily
from a static HTML link, by assembling a CGI query of the type
http://localhost/cgi-bin/my_db.cgi/some_table/list/? year=2005&month=12&day=28

Now I would like this link to be automatically created so it will always point to today's data. My guess would be to set variables for year, month and day and then pass these through to the relevant template. I am stuck on setting user defined variables, not just the built
in Maypole ones

Regards,

Kim
