We may want to take this off list if we start to bore people.

Not sure if you want to track individuals coming in from urb.com or
just anything coming in from urb.com. Let's look at concepts, not
specifics, at least for now.
page abc.html on urb.com has a link
<A HREF="http://www.gapent.com/cgi-bin/track.pl?user-urb">Go visit
George</A>
I'm not sure a SSI in index.html will still have the query string
if it calls a Perl script. So to be on the save side call track.pl. It
extracts the referer and query strings. The script also sets a cookie
on the users maching with any information you want. (This obviously
assumes user has cookies enabled.) The script then calls /pr/index.html
Each html document of interest on your site calls a script to track
the user around the site. If the same user (actually the same computer)
comes back to the site months later -- and they haven't deleted cookies
-- you can tell who they are and how they got to the site orginally.
Is that what you're looking to do?
