Fellow Monks,

I have put some validation onto a form so to ensure that a field gets filled. This works fine for me, except now I want the form elements to get passed onto another cgi script. Here's a bit of the code

# Process form if submitted; otherwise display it
if ($co->param("submit")){
        process_form ( );
        }else{
        display_form ( );
        }

sub process_form{
        if ( validate_form()){
                print $co->start_form(
                      -method=>'POST',
                      -action=>"http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/script2.cgi
+",
                      ),
                $co->end_form(),
                $co->end_html;
                END{}
        }
}

sub validate_form{
        my $searchfield = $co->param("searchfield");

        my $error_message = "";

        $error_message .= "Please enter a value into the searchfield<b
+r>" if ( $searchfield eq "" );

        if ($error_message){
                # Errors with the form - redisplay it and return failu
+re
                display_form ( $error_message, $searchfield, );
                return 0;
                }else{
                # Form OK - return success
                return 1;
        }
}

The display_form sub simply displays the main page, starts like this

sub display_form{
        my $error_message = shift;
        my $searchfield = shift;

print $co->start_form(
                      -method=>'POST',
                      -action=>"http://mywebserver/cgi-bin/script1.cgi
+",
                      ),
.
.
. #loads of extra stuff here
.
.
$co->hidden( -name=>'submit', -value=> "Submit"),
),
$co->end_form(),

Everything works fine, except the sub process_form, I would like this sub to send my fields onto script2.cgi for further processing (i.e. as if a hidden submit button on this form was automatically pressed - can this be done) can anybody direct me into the right direction for doing this.

Also, I was wondering, (and I really don't mean to offend anyone here) are the scripts used to create the perlmonks website available to take a look at or even download?

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
