You have several options:
- You can use $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} (or more simpler $cgi->referer) to make sure that your script is being submitted from the right place.
- You could do a MD5 checksum of all the hidden fields to makre sure they haven't changed
- You could use something like CGI::EncryptForm to encrypt the data so it can't be changed
- You could not store anything in hidden fields and use sessions instead (see Apache::Session)
You definatly don't want to accept things like prices from form fields (I know of one major e-commerce system that does).
Hope this helps.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
