If you want to send the user one page back, $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} should
have the right page, but this isn't always reliable. It isn't hard, for
example, to configure a browser not to transmit this data.
You'd probably be better off embedding an identifier for the page the
user was visiting as a hidden form field that is carried forward with
the login process, &/or stashed in a cookie. Once the user has logged
in, then send them to the page that the hidden / cookie variable says
they were looking at previously.
