Re: [perlman] How to use ?

Depending on your "newbiness" you may wish to use $ENV{QUERY_STRING} instead of jumping in with CGI.pm

Heres a basic example script:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 

if ($ENV{QUERY_STRING} eq 'aboutme') { 
    &aboutme; 
} 
else { 
    &main; 
} 

sub main { 
      print "This is the main sub"; 
} 

sub aboutme { 
      print "This is the about me sub"; 
}

Then you can use script.cgi?aboutme
