I have a program the I want to combine into one single cgi file. It basically is a search program for a database (Postgres). Let me break it down a little:

SCRIPT 1: Determines whether the user logged in is a NORMAL USER or ADMINISTRATOR. Then, if it's the ADMINISTRATOR it generates a form with a username field and dropdown for dates. If it's a NORMAL USER it defaults to that username and generates a form with only a 00-00-00 to 00-00-00 dropdown.

SCRIPT 2: This is the admin script for processing the data from the admin search form that script 1 generates

SCRIPT 3: This processes the normal user form generated by script 1.

All of these are broken down in subroutines except where a few variables are defined and were i determine the USER.
Should i even put these in a subroutine? And can i have if-elsif-else statement inside of larger if-elsif-else statments? Thanks, Nick
