question about subroutines

[TmlMatus]

is there a way of running a subroutine that is only activated when i press a button on my website? ... a side note ... the webpage is not the same as the webpage that called the perl code.

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. The button will need to be a form that calls something, if that form calls a perl script sure. Or are you trying to share a subroutine between two different scripts?

no i mean that my 'index.htm' calls the perl program ... right? is there a way that i can make a subroutine inside my perl that would only be activated once i pressed submit on a different sub of my webpage ... ex.'productinfo.htm' or would i have to create a new perl program for each form?
