What are the main security issues when scripting PERL? Also, is it possible to make it so that the user can't edit the URL when executing a script? For example,

http://216.10.4.112/forums/newthread.php?action=newthread&forumid=1

I'd like to make it so that it looks like:

http://216.10.4.112/forums/newthread.php

Any ideas?

you need to use POST to do that... meaning forms.
if your hardcoding href, then no, you can't
