I finally got my script to do what I needed. Thanks a lot to all those who helped me out.
In case interested here is the resolution: <p><a href="cgi-bin/script.pl?id=\Acura">\Acura</a></p> and the script.pl is: use CGI; $q = new CGI; $VOB = $q -> param ('id'); system("multitool","lsepoch","\-invob","$VOB"); Regards David Nazary -----Original Message----- From: Octavian Rasnita [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 8:46 PM To: Nazary, David Subject: Re: How to make a hyperlink an argument for a CGI script Don't end with .pl but put a link that include a query string like: <a href="/cgi-bin/script.pl&id=foo">foo</a> Then in your script use: use CGI; my $q = new CGI; my $foo = $q -> param ('id'); Your foo string is in the $foo now.
