Yes, it can be picked up by Perl (or ASP or PHP or EXEs or most scripting
languages)
Perl Example: @names = $query->param

anyone know whether perl can pick up & answer url.variables
the way cold fusion can?
we've got a site that uses an outside financial calculator, which allows
us to build the header & footer around their tool. The problem is, they
only allow us to build ONE header & footer & our site dynamically
determines 3 header graphic looks based on state.
I'm reasonably sure I can pass them a url variable without it
affecting the calc's functionality, & the thing is partially
written in perl, so I was hoping I could do something like
<#slowperlcommand if url.look=1>
<html>look 1</html>
<#slowperlcommand elseif url.look=2>
<html>look2</html>
<#slowperlcommand else>
<html>look3</html>
<#perlif>
somehow I doubt this is possible, but my fingers are crossed.
(I'M NOT LEARNING PERL BY THE WAY, so if this is going to be
complex, we get a generic header for the calculator)
thanks in advance,
kyle dubben
