It really depends on what you're doing with those scripts, but basically use the CGI module, like this :
Quote:
1. Declare :
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;

2. Add a CGI parameter to your URL

http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi&page=update

3. Retrieve the CGI parameter in your script

my $page = $cgi->param('page');

4. Put the CGI parameter in your redirect URL

print "Location: $baseusers/$myuser/$page.html\n\n";
Copied from the net.....
