Subject: Servlet POST initiation

Does anyone know how to initiate a POST request from a servlet? I have a servlet which generates the HTML for a form (populated entirely by hidden fields, which are actually fields the servlet gets from a database), but I need to servlet to then POST all this info to another script (perl actually)  I placed submit button on the form the servlet generates it, and when I push it, the whole thing works like a charm.  However, I need it to happen automatically.  The other option is finding some way to have a servlet POST a bunch of parameters directly to a page, without doing it through the HTML code.  Either way would work, but I can't figure out how to do either!
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff
