If you didn't mind using Javascript, you could get the form to submit to different cgi scripts. You just need to set the 'action' property of the form and call the 'submit' method:
<html>
<head>

<script language="javascript">
function doSubmit(_action)
{
    document.login.action = _action;
    document.login.submit();
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form name="login">

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

<tr>
    <td align="right">User:</td>
    <td align="left"><input type="text" name="user" size="15"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td align="right">Pass:</td>
    <td><input type="password" name="pass" size="15"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td colspan="2">
    <a href="javascript:doSubmit('delete.cgi');"><img alt="Delete" src
+="delete.gif" border="0"></a>
    <a href="javascript:doSubmit('add.cgi');"><img alt="Add" src="add.
+gif" border="0"></a>
    <a href="javascript:doSubmit('edit.cgi');"><img alt="Edit" src="ed
+it.gif" border="0"></a>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

</body>
</html>
