in reply to Passing results to a script after form element validation
Not sure I understand what you are trying to do. But if I do, then perhaps you can put your scipt2.cgi into a sub inside a module, and then just call call the sub2, passing on the $co object.
For example:
sub process_form{ if ( validate_form()){ $result = MyModule->mysub2($co); } }
