on running a perl program (for the web), say A, I would like to call
another perl program, either prog B or prog C (depending on certain
conditions) , with certain arguments. If B and C are procedures within
A this is trivial, but what if B and C are totally different programs
written at different times for different reasons (maybe even not
resident on the same server and need to call a remote server) And I do
NOT want to simply forward to a URL
For example (a contrived example) let's say a visitor comes to my
signup form. Now dependent on whether the visitor checks , say,
computers or magazines, I would like control to pass to a totally
different script , say, script A if 'computers' is chosen and B if
'magazines' is chosen
