Poj, I get you. Add/Delete/Search is calling the cgi, but what I meant is in my CGI file i have 3 functions : sub Add{bla bla} sub Search, sub Delete. My idea was to pass a value so that I could create a condition, something like: If value=0 Add(); else if value=1 Search(); else Delete(); I am new to perl, so please don't mind my syntax. I will appreciate if you could explain how I could link your html values with these functions. Thanks. UPDATE : I just ran the CGI alongwith it. Got that the parameter is getting passed. Thanks Poj!
