Hello Marius -

There are two types of variables, scratch variables and session variables.

You can set a scratch variable like so:
   [set VAR]100[/set]
and access in a page with
   [scratch VAR]

You can also do it with Perl:
   [perl scratch] $Safe{'scratch'}{'VAR'} = 100; ''; [/perl]
                                                 ^^^
                                                 the return value of the
                                                 perl routine is displayed
                                                 on the page, so use this
                                                 to make it return blank
Likewise for session variables:
   [perl values] $Safe{'values'}{'VAR'} = 100; ''; [/perl]
and access in a page with
   [value VAR]


Make sure you do
   [set mv_put_session]Yes[/set]
someplace so that variables you set will stick around from page to page.
