Re: Saving param after new recall of a cgi script

You should store the values from step 2 at step 3 in hidden parameters (<input 
type="hidden" ...>). The You can access them via CGI in step 4.

An alternative would be storing the whole CGI-object in a file using 
Data::Dumper and recreate it using 'do $file'.
