in reply to call subroutine from cgi form

To expand on chromatic's advice, try something along these lines: 
if ( $cgi_query->param('action') eq 'sub_1' ) {
    sub_1();
} elsif ( $cgi_query->param('action') eq 'sub_2' ) {
    sub_2();
} else {
    default_sub();
}

    Or, to expand further, and depending on the actual number of subroutines, use a dispatch table:

    ($dispatch{ $cgi_query->param('action') } || \&default_sub)->();
