Hello,
My boss has requested a simple form adjustment to save about 45 seconds of load time. Let me explain. There is a single html page with 2 forms, both created using perl, each of these forms are EXACTLY the same in that they have an option for the number of sites. (there are about 1200 sites). So, the html file is about 200K because it prints all the sites 2 times, he wants it to only print once. The difference btwn the forms, is that one computes the data for today, and the other form has a variable to PAST dates, but not today. So basically, if you want the data for today, you would use the first form, and for past dates, the second form. Basically, what i want to do is have one printout of all the sites, next to it, the date, and next to that, a button. When the button is pushed, it goes to a third script. This script reads the parameters, and if the parameter is "today" then it routes that string into one script, or, if the paramter is any othe rday, it routes it to the other script. Hence, i will only need to print out all the sites once. Is this possible?

Maybe something like 

if (date eq "today"){
      "execute alt_hist.cgi?allparamshere";
}
else{
     "execute hist.cgi?allparamshere";
}

thanks in advance
