From: Ed Jay on 18 Feb 2007 12:34 I apologize in advance for asking what probably has a simple answer that I can't seem to find. Can I pass parameters from one Perl script to another Perl script without using cookies? Is there a method similar to using hidden form elements to submit parameters from an HTML page to a Perl script? -- Ed Jay (remove 'M' to respond by email)

When script A calls script B just pass the parameters along just as you would do when calling any other program. And script B will find the parameter in @_, just as if called from the command line. If you want to pass more complex data than simple parameters Perl also supports pretty much any commonly used IPC method. jue

I knew it had to be trivial, but to a Perl newbie, nothing is really trivial. :-) >And script B will find the >parameter in @_, just as if called from the command line. >If you want to pass more complex data than simple parameters Perl also >supports pretty much any commonly used IPC method. > I understand there are several IPC methods available. Again, as a newbie trying to solve some script problems without a comprehensive Perl understanding, I simply am at a loss at how to do it. I'm trying to use the redirect function to port one scripts parameters to another script that generates a dynamic HTML page. I don't want to use cookies or files. I'm currently snowed at how to do it. Thanks for your input. -- Ed Jay (remove 'M' to respond by email)
