As long as the user keeps pressing forward (i.e. clicking links instead
of hitting the "Back" button), keeping state between screens is trivial
using the perl CGI modules.  It generally involves putting hidden values
in the form, so that the next time a link within that form is clicked,
those hidden values are sent along with the other visible form data
(i.e. the new input).
