Re: Calling a sub-routine in CGI

This is the source I'm using, the sub routines work if I call them explicitly, but I wan't to call them from a link on the same page

#!perl.exe -wT

use Strict;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header("text/html");

print <<WEB_PAGE;
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<H1> Just a simple page for now </H1>
WEB_PAGE

my ($device, $port, $house, $unit, $interface);

# Use BEGIN so we can conditionally eval modules
BEGIN {

# Set the parameters

    $interface = 'CM11';

    $port = 'COM1';

    $house = 'A';
    $unit  = '2';

    use Win32::SerialPort 0.17;
        die "$@\n" if ($@);
    $device = Win32::SerialPort->new ($port) or die "Can't start $port
+\n";

    eval "use ControlX10::CM11 qw( :FUNC 2.06 )";
        die "$@\n" if ($@);
}

$BASE_URL = '/cgi-bin/lights.cgi';

print "Turn light <a href='$BASE_URL?action=toggle_on'>ON</a>";


# &toggle_on;
# &toggle_off;


sub toggle_on{

    my $cmd   = 'J';
    
    print"<h2>Turning Lights ON</H2>";
    print "---> Toggle light $house$unit to on \($cmd\)\n";

    send_cm11($device, $house . $unit);
    send_cm11($device, $house . $cmd);
}

sub toggle_off{

    my $cmd   = 'K';
    

    print"<h2>Turning Lights OFF</H2>";
    print "---> Toggle light $house$unit to on \($cmd\)\n";

    send_cm11($device, $house . $unit);
    send_cm11($device, $house . $cmd);
