Re: Passing variable between scripts
Try this for that print "" line.
print "<input type=hidden name="requiredname"
value="$in{`requiredname`}">
";
You don`t need to make the name="" part a variable. That is what the field name
is.

Why are you avoiding the qq() operator?
print qq(<input type="hidden" name="requiredname"
value="$in{requiredname}">
);
$in{`requiredname`} indicates the OP is probably using
something other than CGI.pm to process cgi requests. %in is
usually accompanied by a call to an outdated CGI request
subroutine. Whenever you see %in ask the OP how they are
processing their forms or use CGI.pm subs in your answer.
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new();
$q->hidden(
-name => `requiredname`,
-value => $q->param(`requiredname`),
);
That prompts the OP to ask about CGI.pm, the safest means to
processing CGI requests. It is important that we answer the
unwritten questions as well as the obvious ones.
