Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to make adjustments to the following code to run the requests through the command line instead of using a form(ie. mail.cgi?makemail, or mail.cgi?what=makemail)...any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ~Lis 
#!/usr/bin/perl

require 'r-mail.cfg';
require 'r-mail.common.cgi';
require 'r-mail.sub.cgi';


$use_cgi = 1;

&readform;
&confirm if ($action eq 'confirm');
&actually_send_mail if ($action eq 'moremail');
&set_mail if ($what eq 'setmail');
&set_sig if ($what eq 'setsig');
&set_add_list if ($what eq 'setaddlist');
&set_del_list if ($what eq 'setdellist');
&set_list if ($what eq 'setlist');
&set_pass if ($what eq 'setpass');

&make_mail if ($what eq 'makemail');
&change_sig if ($what eq 'changesig');
&add_list if ($what eq 'addlist');
&set_del_list2 if ($what eq 'setdellist2');
&del_list if ($what eq 'dellist');
&set_list2 if ($what eq 'setlist2');
&change_list if ($what eq 'changelist');
&change_pass if ($what eq 'changepass');

#&check_pw;
&render_admin;
exit;

sub render_admin
 {
print <<"END";
