Perl Code used:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1;

$in = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
@elements = split /&/, $in;

for $element (@elements)
    {$element =~ tr/+/ /;       # decode +'s to spaces
    ($key, $value) = split /=/, $element;
    $key =~ s/%([\dA-Fa-f]{2})/pack("C".hex($1))/ge;   # decode key
     $value =~ s/%([\dA-Fa-f]{2})/pack("C".hex($1))/ge; # decode value

     if ($key eq "state") {$state = $value};
     if ($key eq "id")    {$id = $value};
    }

($day, $month, $year) = (localtime)[3,4,5];
$year = $year+1900;
$month=$month+1;

open(logfile,">> logdhqatty $year $month.log");

open(trackfile,"datadhqatty.dat");
    while($trackrec = <trackfile>)
      {chomp($trackrec);
       ($trackid,$trackstate,$tracksect,$tracklink) = split(/~/,$trackrec);
          if ($trackid eq $id) 
              {$newrecord = join ("\~",$trackid,$trackstate,$tracksect,"\n");
               print logfile $newrecord;
               close(logfile);
               close(trackfile);
               print "Content-type: text/html\n";
               print "Location: http://$tracklink\n\n";exit}

Anchor names are case-sensitive: clicking Ocean redirects to #ocea but the page
only has an <a name="Ocea">, not an <a name="ocea">.
