Anything you send back will go to the user's browser. If you need to send something elsewhere, another mechanism would be needed. You could use LWP to send a parameter or two to a CGI app being run by the referrer. > Ideally, it would simple "send" the string ... > http://www.referrer.com?id=1&uid=2 to the referrer ... no need to retrieve > anything back from referrer.com. You could use LWP or LWP::Simple for that and the referrer would need to set up a CGI script to field it. > Is there a method we're unaware of, or any reference material anyone can > point us to that would help?
