It's really late here and I'm not at a computer, so this is somewhat 
pseudo-code, but try this:

// place where you caught that they weren't 
// authenticated (before page construction)
String url = 
getRequest().getServletResponse().getUrlOrSomethingICantRememberRightNow();
throw new RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException(new 
RedirectPage("/perl-stuff/signin.pl?dest=" + url));

Of course, you could encrypt the destination or something if it was critical, 
but typically that shouldn't be a problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alex,

Normally you can throw a special exception, the
RestartResponseAtInterceptPageException. Unfortunately I do not think
this will work when the intercept page is external to Wicket.

So the only thing you can do, is put the original URL in a parameter to
the perl page, and let the perl page use that as second redirect. Makes
sense?

Regards,
    Erik.
