CGI go URL

[ge_dig]

Hi all!

Ok, I'm not that deep into .cgi, so I'm in desperate need of some
help here!

I have a .cgi script which takes the user to an url selected from
a dropdown box. (this works fine).

But I would like to modify the script so that I don't have to type
in the whole url in the dropdown box.
Now the html is as follows:

option value="http://www.aruba2001.nl/pages/page01.htm"
option value="http://www.aruba2001.nl/pages/page02.htm"
option value="http://www.aruba2001.nl/pages/page03.htm"

As the beginning of the URL is always the same, I would like to know how can I modify the
script that it automatically adds "http://www.aruba2001.nl" to the url, so
that the values in the dropdown box are as follows:

option value="/pages/page01.htm"
option value="/pages/page02.htm"
option value="/pages/page03.htm"



This is the script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Receive info from Posting
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

# Process info from Posting
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);
foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$INPUT{$name} = $value;
}

$link = $INPUT{'link'};

print ("Location: $link\n\n");

exit;

Thanx and Cheerz,
Rick

Hi Musicman,

Thanx for your reply! Somehow I get an Internal Server Error when I use your piece of code!?!

Any idea, cause I haven't ;-)
