Jump to a sub Function from a link????

http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi (Jump to sub function)

Is there a way this can be done (either from a link, a JavaScript or the address window) that you can perform a desired user defined function within a subscript. I am using the

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST")

method in the script to have it to perform two functions already depending on if a "submit" button was clicked in a form or if a direct link to the cgi scrip was clicked. Is there a way to have more control of which function the script will perform from outside the script.

Thanks for any replies.

Sure, add query strings to the end of your links (myscript.cgi?action=foobar), and use the GET method to retrieve the query string. Then, you can call a subroutine based on the "action" (or whatever you call your query string) within the GET routine.

Thanks, that is what I learnt to use.
