in thread Multiple Pages with CGI

Maybe I was being a mite too pedantic? A URL is just a string. If a function/method is called, it's done by the application that handles the request and generates the response, not the URL.

Yep, I was being too darn pedantic. 'Scuse me.

    gloryhack, you are being a pedant, but it's a good point, the uri itself won't call anything...

    The uri tells the browser to ask the webserver to run the handles that run the script which runs perl which runs my code, which runs the subs...

    But let's leave out some of those parts, and say the uri does run the subs... <phb>That's all implementation anyway</phb>

      The pedantry thing isn't in my nature, it's just a habit when dealing with the inexperienced so they stand a chance at understanding reality and don't have a cloud labeled "... and then a miracle happens..." in the equation.
