Hi,

Is it safe to call a cgi script from another cgi script . Someone said to me its not wise to do it?Its better to handle it via a module.

The main problem is , when A.cgi calls B.cgi , errors in B.cgi are just written to server log. A.cgi looks as if things went fine.
What i am doing is getting some information in a html form , send the data to another cgi script using AJAX and that cgi script inturn stores the data into db.

Also , if i want to do it using a module instead of cgi , how to do it. Should I be loading cgi modules within that module and then do it or is there any better way?

In reply to cgi page calling another cgi when submitting form but does not returns error only to web server log and not to browser. by chidori
