I'm reding my site using HTML TEMPLATE and CGI::APPLICATION so I can use a common code within all my sites. Anyway here is my question:

index.pl is the script that calls everything. Its has several run modes, articles, admin, and home.

By default it lodes up home.

Now if I want to display the articles I would use this: index.pl?node=articles

However I want to specify a specific article, so I would like it to recognize this:

index.pl?node=articles?15

And goto the 15th article.

This is what the setup function looks like:


sub setup {

  my $self = shift;

  $self->run_modes(
      'home' => 'home',
      'articles' => 'articles',
      'admin' => 'admin',
      );

   $self->param('dbh' =>  DBI->connect(
        "DBI:mysql:tro:localhost",
        "root", "",
        {RaiseError => 1})
      );

  $self->tmpl_path('/var/www/petnuch/html_templates');
  $self->start_mode('home');
  $self->mode_param('node');

}

Thanks for any help.
