ll CSS Positioning Properties
Property	Description
bottom	Sets the bottom margin edge for a positioned box
clip	Clips an absolutely positioned element
left	Sets the left margin edge for a positioned box
position	Specifies the type of positioning for an element
right	Sets the right margin edge for a positioned box
top	Sets the top margin edge for a positioned box



It should be as simple as, in your form:

<input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Button 1" />
<input type="submit" name="Button2" value="Button 2" />
<input type="submit" name="Button3" value="Button 3" />
And, in your script:

if ($cgi->param('Button1')) {
    # Button1 was clicked, do stuff...
} elsif ($cgi->param('Button2')) {
    # Button2 was clicked, do something else...
} elsif ($cgi->param('Button3')) {
    # Button3 was clicked, do whatever you want...
} else {
    # No button clicked; show the form
}

There's no limit to the number of type="submit" buttons you can have in a form. So long as they have a name/value set, only the name/value pair of the button used to submit the form will be sent to the server.

There are a couple of caveats due to browser support if you're using image submit buttons, or the <button> element itself, but it doesn't sound like that's happening in this case.
