cgi script
Hello,
we have an extranet where every user has a password and a username. Some powerusers must have the possibility to access data of all the users without knowing their password. The powerusers must know the username. We want to use a form for this where a poweruser just gives the username. Then a new browserwindow must be opened with all the data from that specific user.
Is there a possibility to bypass some security issues with a cgi-script that is not written in perl or c?
The website is built with frames
Thanks

If I have a Perl CGI script (script01), which fills an array(s) with information and outputs a HTML page with a link to another CGI page (script02); is there anyway to pass the array(s) from "script01" to "script02" when the page visitor clicks the link?
Hope that makes sense!
