} Seems to me that what you are doing with the hidden variable is **always**
} setting mv_click and that in turn runs the perl.  Couldn't you just
} use a profile for this?

Yes, it will always run the mv_click block when the form is submitted.
I guess it depends on the design of the form and the alternative actions
a user can take, if any. I don't really know anything about the application
Josh was writing about.

It may be that using a search profile would work - especially in IC where,
if I remember correctly what I read, the use of profiles has been extended
somewhat over MV.
