Action before clicking a link

[lg]

I have the following code (scaled down from complete code):


[snip]
print "Press link below to go to next level";
print '<form action="http://thisandthat.com" method="post">';
print "</form>";
[snip]

When user clicks the link he then goes to the page link point to.
I would like to save info that the user has clicked the link.
How do I do that?

Subject: Action before clicking a link

before clicking.

When user clicks the link

after clicking.

Which is it?

How do I do that?

In the first case, by accurately predicting the future.

In the later case, by putting the appropriate code it the
resource at the end of the link.

Yor print() statements look correct to me. Beside that is there anything
else related to Perl that you like to discuss?

Point to a script which redirects after logging.

my question:
1) There is no link, just an empty form
2) Can you use 'GET' instead of 'POST'

You might also want to check Javascript's onChange handler if you dont
like a 'submit' button

Have the link invoke a CGI that does a re-direct.
That info will show up in your access_log.
