[ic] help pulling info from URL

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Duncan McGreggor)]

Well, one of perl's mottos is that there's more than one way to do it...
here's one elementary way:

$last_url = '[data session last_url]';
@parts = split("/", $last_url);
# position 0 should be nothing
# position 1 should be "category"
# position 2 should be "posters"
# position 3 should be "p1.html"
$pstn2 = $parts[2];
$pstn3 = $parts[3];

This /should/ work (I didn't test it...)
