Hi, I have a page to input value and redirect to second page. In second form there are couple of buttons. I want a code call sub routines within second form. I don't want to call another form/page. Basically i am taking input of host name in first page and with the host name i am calling redirecting to second form. Because of telnet session, i want to continue in second page itself. i have created both the pages in cgi. Please someone help me. Thanks Srikanth ------------------------------- Here is my code below: test11.cgi ----------------------------------

#!"D:\Program Files\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe"

use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(warningsToBrowser fatalsToBrowser);
$co = new CGI;
print     $co->header,
        $co->start_html(-titile => 'Welcome'),
        $co->center ($co->h1('Welcome')),
        $co->start_form        (             -method=>'POST',         
+    -action=>"test12.cgi",         ),
         "Enter host name/ip : ",
         $co->textfield         (              -name=>'text1',        
+       -value=>'',         ),
         $co->submit('Submit'),        
         $co->reset,
         $co->end_form();
