Here's a quickie.

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw

use strict;
use CGI;

my %Pages =
  (1    => sub {open FILE, 'frontpage.html'; print while <FILE>},
   2    => sub {open FILE, 'aboutus.html';   print while <FILE>},
   3    => sub {open FILE, 'login.html';     print while <FILE>},
   42   => \&showStats);

my $Num = CGI::param('Num') || 1; #If we don't get a number, show the 
+front page

print CGI::header(); 
&{$Pages{$Num}};

Notes:

• For brevity, I didn't check the return status of open, or close FILE. You should.
• You would "call" this like: www.here.com/linker.pl?Num=2
• Thanks to ar0n for reminding me to print CGI::header (I forgot it, at first)
