Sigh.. you're hitting one of the many limitations caused by
the original drraw design (or lack thereof).  Modules would
help, but require significant code rewrites to be done right,
and i'd miss the simple 1 file installation :)

Now, what you're trying to achieve above shouldn't be too hard
to do (with or without modifying drraw) by turning that page
into a CGI itself.
