Thanks, pugdog...I understand the logic behind what you are saying...but if I understand you correctly, I would have to copy all the "Globals" codes into ALL the *_HTML_Templates.pm files I create, which is what I am attempting to avoid...

And yes...I am attempting to modularizing the subroutines used in different sections of my site that rely on Links SQL. So, I am attempting to separate or break up the HTML_Templates.pm files.

Example:

ALL subs used in the forum.cgi script go in the FORUM_HTML_Templates.pm.

ALL subs used in the job and resume posting scripts will go in Career_HTML_Templates.pm.

Regards,

Eliot Lee
