RE: Passing in and capturing userid

Thank you! It worked perfectly using REDIRECT="...../cgi-bin/test.cgi".

For anyone interested, the redirect script I developed (to be used in a
cgi-bin, or anywhere if .cgi is enabled in the apache configuration):

-------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Cookie;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

%cookies = fetch CGI::Cookie;
$userid = $cookies{'userid'}->value;

print redirect("http://example.com/$userid"); 
--------------------

A bit more tricky, but not impossible. You can set a cookie from within
a perl snippet. If you direct to a script, that script can read the
cookie and then re-direct to the personal home page.

The cookie setting has to be done in a submit-time snippet, something
like in the last page

<SURVEY .. CONTINUE="myforwardscript.cgi">

   <SUBMIT VISIBLE="no">
     {|
       $userid = $session->getValue("SUBMITTED_userid");
       $self->SetCookie("userid",$userid);
     |}
   </SUBMIT>

</SURVEY>

Reading this it strikes me that you could probably set VISIBLE="yes" and
print a complete HTML page with a <META REFRESH ...> tag that forwards
immediately instead of going via an external script. I haven't tested
either solution though.
