I pretty much agree with ikegami, but I can imagine what you're looking for. Use a hidden input field to let your script know to process the form. Then you can check for the CGI parameter with your script. If it's there, execute your subroutine... `use strict; use warnings; #... my $cgi = new CGI; if ( $cgi->param('runsub') ) { run_subroutine( $cgi ); }` [download] -- -- GhodMode	[reply] [d/l]
