Is it possible to set the QUERY_STRING without following a link to script.pl?set string ?
Such as if the user submits a form it would go to script.pl?form

Any help woule be appreciated.

Well, if the user submits a form (using the post method) it will take them to ?form. And this query string will go to sub routine to do things with the data.

I'm not sure I understood you either, but if you post a form with the GET method, all the data will be sent through a query string (like action.pl?field1=value1&field2=value2 , etc.). If you only want to pass "form" as the query string, just set "script.pl?form" as the form action.

You can access the query string in $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}

If you want to go to a specific subroutine if the script was called with script.cgi?one

if ($ENV{'QUERY_STRING'} eq "one") {
&SubOne;
}
