First Timer With Cgi/perl Script

Hi,<br /><br />I am trying to install a cgi/script for the first time. The script I bought (PitBullPro) has no sample login page, so I have a few questions (My apologies if they are pretty basic) <br /><br />In CGI/Perl speak what is the referrer ? Is it the URL I go to if the form is successful or is it the URL I come from ?<br /><br />Second how can I tell where the script sends me after successful action (i.e. after a successful log- on ?) Unless as I suspect I have to go to the referrer.<br /><br />Thanks for your help <br /><br />Silvano<!--content-->
The referrer is not a term used exclusively when talking about Perl. It's a general web term used to refer to the "webpage you came from", as in "the webpage that <i>referred</i> you to the one you're visiting now".<br /><br />As for how can you tell where the script should send you, if it's not working I guess you'll have to take a look at the source code.<!--content-->
