Hi all,

I'm starting a project that will probably take me the whole summer to complete.

Anyway, I'm starting by making the administration part of the site. I need it to do different tasks like change password, add new users, delete users, etc. Would it be better to have these tasks incorporated in the same script or to have them run with multiple scripts?

If I use the same script, should I seperate these tasks into subs? Or, should I use ifs and elsifs to tell the script what to do? E.g. ...

my $action = param('action');
if ($action eq 'foo') {
   # Do stuff
} elsif ($action eq 'bar') {
   # Do stuff
}

Or...

if ($action eq 'foo') { foo(); }
elsif ($action eq 'bar') { bar(); }
sub foo {
   # Do stuff
}
sub bar {
   # Do stuff
}

Thanks for any input.
Joshua
