It's necessary to get the location URL to a place where perl can operate
on it.  Doing that manually is a pain and should not be necessary since
the URL should be in the browser's cache or history.  Digging it out of
the cache or history is the problem and the solution to that depends on
the browser.  On http://www.perl.com/cs/user/query/q/6?id_topic=78 I
noticed a couple of modules that may help do it for the netscape
browser: Netscape::Cache and Netscape::History.  The netscape browser
cache is probably a directory of web pages like it is for IE, but the
history is most likely kept in a file and hopefully it's just a text
file with URLs one per line in chronological order--at least it could
be.  It may be useful to look around for a browser that keeps the
history in a particularly nice format.  That's not likely to be IE, but
who knows?
