no, thank you. it was a good q
Are you hitting the page directly? If so then you will not get a referer.
You have to link to it from another page in order for that variable to be

HTTP_REFERER , not HTTP_REFERRER
When in doubt run a check on your %ENV hash
foreach( keys %ENV ) {
print "$_ = $ENV{ $_ }\n" ;
