Hi all

From one of my form i am calling one cgi script . This cgi script takes lot of time to execute. As a result users of the site keep on clicking on "Submit" Button again and again , which causes multiple times calling of script which ultimately causes excessive load on my server.

I was trying to keep a "wait page" in between but when i rediect my page, my parameters are not passed in final cgi script. I tried passing with CGI::session but there the problem is, on opening multiple pages from same PC, parameters remain same as they are fetched from cookies.

Can anybody help me to implement passing of parameters from "Wait page" in any other way (other than sessions)

Thanks in advance

Rather than implementing a "Wait page", I think it would be better to find out why the script is taking so long to process the form submission and see if you can improve the efficiency.
