Re: cgi page calling another cgi when submitting form but does not returns error only to web server log and not to browser.

Don't "call" other cgi's from a cgi ... whatever you mean by "call"

using system or exec to call other cgis is a fudgy idea,

fudgy , unless you're clever enough to write your cgis to take @ARGs, but then if you did that you wouldn't call them cgis :) and you'd be clever enough to use Capture::Tiny to capture anything your cgi prints on STDERR or STDOUT

but if you wrote both programs, and the second is really just a part of the first, then yeah, it shouldn't exist, it should be part of your module ... yeah, your real cgi should be

#!/usr/bin/perl --
...
use MyModule;
MyModuule::DoTheCgiDance();
[download]

If you still need the "other" then you can have that one too

#!/usr/bin/perl --
...
use MyModule;
MyModuule::DoTheCgiDanceOTHER();
[download]

If I have to pass the form data to this perl module , How should I be doing it. Should i pass the "param" from cgi to this module and split it using split function ?	[reply]

:) Form data comes from CGI object, you can pass this $query around ... example `sub MyModuule::DoTheCgiDance { my $query = CGI->new; ## FORMDATA my( $headers, $body ) = DoTheDance( $query ); print $headers, $body; }` [download] Re^5: I need help with displaying newline or paragraph using perl on my website (pass arguments more subs), CGI Programming, Mojolicious::Lite +and jQuery +AJAX + Mojo::Template	[reply] [d/l]

So for commandline version you might have `... use MyModuule; MyModuule::DoTheCLIDance( @ARGV ); exit( 0 );` [download] where `sub MyModuule::DoTheCLIDance { my %args = GetOptMyArgsIWant(\@_); my $query = CGI->new( %args ); ## FORMDATA my( $headers, $body ) = DoTheDance( $query ); print $body; ## no headers on CLI :) }` [download] and the other cgi `sub MyModuule::DoTheCgiDanceOTHER { my $query = CGI->new; my( $headers, $body ) = PutOnSomePants( $query ); print $headers, $body; } sub MyModuule::DoTheCLIDanceOTHER { ## no advanced getopt stuff ## just key value key value key value my $query = CGI->new( @_ ); my( $headers, $body ) = PutOnSomePants( $query ); print $body; }` [download] The idea is each .cgi or .pl, uses some modules and calls calls one subroutine to take care of everything	[reply] [d/l] [select]
