Setting $fdat{whatever} will have no effect on the next form, only for the
current page. You must insert a hidden field inside your form
<input type=hidden name=application_id value="[+ $foo +]">
To use %udat to pass values, you have first to setup Embperl, so that it
uses Apache::Session. Read the docs about Session HAndling. If you are
successfull, you should see a message "Embperl sesssion handling enabled" in
your Apache error log, when Embperl starts
