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

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.
