I really don't know if this is possible, but if it would.... Isn't it just possible to merge the two scripts into one? The script could do a case switching on the date. You really wouldn't have to change the scripts much, you just put them into subs with the original parameters: 

SWITCH: {
  get_today(@params), last SWITCH if ($date eq 'today');
  get_otherday($date,@params), last SWITCH if ($date nq 'today');
}

Moreover, you could consider splitting the >1,200 sites into several blocks, let's say on alfabetical ranges. Just give an extra parameter with a character, and only return those sites beginning with that character. Would seriously reduce load time.

If you want to use several forms right after each other, like suggested in other replies, consider php3||4. I use it, and it certainly makes life very easy, because form-values reappear as variables in php, which I eventually parse to perl with system commands. Lazy coding is the best.

Good luck,
