Passing variable between scripts

I have a real stupid question. I have done this way back and can not
for the life of me get it.

I have a feedback form. The input code looks like: <input
name="requiredname" size="30" type="text">

That goes to a cgi script and is displayed on the screen: print "
$in{`requiredname`}
";
and the name appears. Now I want to be able to then have a final
submit, or confirm if you will, which will then Email the information.

So I added a: print " <FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION=http://www.ribbonrail.com/cgi/WORKING-trade_secrets_input_mail.cgi>
";
To the top of the code. and the [proper submit and /form> at the bottom.

Now I am loosing the contents of $in{`requiredname`} in this second
pass. I have tried adding

print "<input type=hidden name=$in{`requiredname`}
value="$in{`requiredname`}">
";

to recreate the variable and pass it on to the next script.
I have tried different combinations of this hidden tag to carry the
contents of $in{`requiredname`} to the next script but it`s lost.

I know this is simple but am stumped.
