Thanks Rebecca.  I appreciate your response, which made me think I

couldn't be too far off--still not sure what I was doing wrong before,

but it worked when I went back and tested just now.  Here's what I used

in case anyone else ever wants to pass things back from perl:


print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

print "var2fromperl=55&var1fromperl=some text from the program";


(I used plain instead of html because I'm just passing text, not html

page content.  And it looks like the string doesn't need anything

special around it--it printed in Flash just the same as it appears in

the string, without any special url encoding or anything).
