There's a much easier way to do this.

This form:

<form action="[URL of cgi script]" method="GET">
         <select name="URL">
                 <option value="#" selected>Select from drop down menu</option>
                 <option value="http://www.cwru.edu">CWRU Home Page</option>
                 <option value="http://www.cwru.edu/UL/">University 
Library</option>
                 <option 
value="http://catalog.cwru.edu/search/">EuclidPLUS</option>
                 <option value="http://www.ohiolink.edu/">OhioLINK</option>
         </select><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go" 
class="smalltextbold"></form>


Points to this script on your server

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Location: $FORM::URL\n\n";

You can customize the droplist for each page if you like, or you can make 
one list that is used by every page and pull it in via ssi.
