I am new to this process, so forgive any lack of  presentation
knowledge:

I am using a perl script which is called through the WISE installer and
it grabs some information from the machine of the person who is
installing.  I included the  user_agent( );  function from CGI.pm  in
order to grab the browser (and platform) that the user started the
installation process from, but since the perl script is run when the
WISE installer process begins, my perl script has no idea what browser
the user launched from and NOTHING is printed in this field.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way for perl to get that info in
this case.  I did not want to grab the browser info via a separate perl
script from the web page itself where the "install now" link exists,
because if I am inundated with thousands of users, the two processes
might not stay connected and I need all the information to remain in ONE
record.  I just wanted to find out if I was missing something.  I am new
to this perl CGI stuff.  Thanks.
