I am not an expert on CGI.pm (as I don't use it personally) but there didn't seem to be any other responses so I thought I would fire one off.
If I am understanding what you asked correctly, there is no way to pass a "CGI object" to the new process from the old do to the fact that the browser and server don't maintain any type of connection/session (at least in normal cgi, this can however be done in mod_perl in select cases (aka no load balancing, etc.) for instance). Instead when you print your "warning" page with the new submit form you need to print (probably as hidden fields) each of the query items in the form again. check out perldoc CGI specifically "CREATING A HIDDEN FIELD" http://danconia.org Donald J Miller wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I am writing a CGI to access a database.
