Calling Subroutines in CGI
i am working on a basic PERL CGI script and i am using a subroutine called "guestbook" using
&guestbook'
i can execute the subroutine.
but i was wondering how do i access the subroutine via the browser??

To call the script, you can reference it by url:
.. .com/cgi-bin/yourscriptname.cgi
In the script you call your subroutine.
However, you can read about it in more detail at

Let us know how it turns out!

You need a module like CGI.pm
Take a look at http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI.pm/
It will allow you to do what you're after.
