security

hi everyone,

I am using perl and mysql and since one month searching for a security script to secure my page.
What I need is I have to call a script(I have written the connection to mysql part but I can not send the result to http://myname.com/cgi-bin/myname.cg...$variable2&.... ) with a ID and it has to look the ID in my database, get the results and then send it to another cgi like: http://myname.com/cgi-bin/myname.cg...$variable2&....
This is to prevent people seeing my source code so they can not change my data sending to the script.
Could anyone help me with this topic.
Thank in advance...

I don't quite understand what your asking here. If this is data being sent from a form, use the POST method. Other than that, I don't understand.

What it sounds like you need to do is consolidate your code into a single page, make a call to the database to retrieve the id then feed it into a second stage (what you currently have as the second cgi).

Umm... not quite sure what you mean here, but as long as the permissons the file are set right and the webserver is configure properly people can't read your script, they only get the output. If you don't want them to see particular variable values then you need to build sessions so they get a cookie with an ID and you store the variables server side.
