Am I better to run a seperate CGI from the plugin menu, or turn it into an internal sub of my plugin?

Example:

install.pm
myplugin.pm
catdepth.cgi <- repair function

Menu:

Installed Plugins

My Plugin
Menu Item 1
Repair Function <- repair function



If it is better run this as a bundled cgi, then how do I call this file from my sub?

sub repair {
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# This subroutine will get called whenever the user clicks
# on 'repair' in the admin menu. Remember, you need to print
# your own content-type headers; you should use
#
# print $IN->header();
#

}

Thanks again!

It's better to go through admin.cgi. You can call:

admin.cgi?do=plugin&plugin=YOURPLUGIN&func=somefunction

and that will run Plugins::YOURPLUGIN::somefunction(). This saves having to create a separate cgi, and set permissions, etc.

Cheers,

Alex
