Java game linking to a perl script

[kiat]

Hey,

I've a java applet game. When a player completes a level, I need the applet program to call a perl script to update that information. Something like:

if (solved) {
try {
    getAppletContext().showDocument
      (new URL(getCodeBase()+"index.pl?node=puzzle&solved=ab6eweyg"),"
+_top");
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {}
 }
}

But I suspect it might be possible to type the solved code directly into the url:

http://somesite/index.pl?node=puzzle&solved=ab6eweyg

Assuming the code "ab6eweyg" is stored in the html file that contains the applet.

Could someone suggest e a better solution?

Thanks in anticipation :)
