Is it possible to have a webpage link use a perl script to do two functions:
1) Register a 'click' and submit it to a remote URL (ie. affliate site)
2) Pass-thru to the intended local destination.

Visual example:
[index.html] --> (click me) --> [main.html]
+ --> (reg. remote click)

SilverThorn,

Welcome to WmW.

Before you looking in to this I would suggest that you read very carfully the Terms & Conditions of the Affilate as they do frown down on forcing the click if they are paying on the click. If you do do this and it is agaianst their rules you can have wasted a lot of traffic for nothing.

Yes you can do that with Perl, but I have to echo drbill's caution.

Sorry, I should have said that the remote system was not a banner, but a remote server in our network layout. We use one system for webpages and another internal system for doing hits to the server, links used, etc. This is just used so we dont have to run any internal stats on the main web server thus slowing it down.
