I am not sure if this will work, but...Try embedding an anchor tag name into
the path of the Perl CGI URL called in your FORM tag. Then, have the
Perl-CGI script embed that same anchor tag into the resulting HTML document.
What should happen is now when you call the CGI script, the browser will
know to seek out that anchor tag.

Subject: [Boston.pm] sending a user to the middle of a page from a form post

OK, so here's what we've got.  We have a perl CGI that spits out a form
based on some info in a db.  A user will fill out that form and hit
submit.  the submission actually goes to the same CGI which now interprets
what it needs to do (basically its handed search criteria).  It then spits
out a long html page.  Here's where my question comes in.  Is there any
way to have the content all spat out and then send some sort of message to
the browser telling it to go to a specific anchor point on that page?

Ideas?
Thanks.
