You could refer to the CGI.pm docs, specifically the part about mixing POST and URL parameters: http://search.cpan.org/~lds/CGI.pm-3.11/CGI.pm#MIXING_POST_AND_URL_PARAMETERS if ($q->url_param('step') eq 'confirm' ) { ... } or put the step parameter in a hidden field in the html form: <input type="hidden" name="step" value="confirm" /> You may also want to check out CGI::Application, it makes quick work of what you are trying to do.
