Set the environment variable QUERY_STRING to the appropriate uri encoded
string (ie. as if it were a url).
use URI::Escape;
my %args = (domain=>'www.hexidecimal.com.au',
page=>'signup' visible=>'true');
$ENV{REQUEST_METHOD} = 'GET';
$ENV{QUERY_STRING} =
join('&', map { "$_=".uri_escape($args{$_}) } keys %args);
It's possible the CGI you are calling depends on other things in the CGI
environment too.
This is one case where I'd probably use SSI. Or make the counter a
module. Or use HTML::Mason.
