I would recommend doing something like this to keep from having to register 
another perm bit..

...
sub ShowReport {
 if($cgi->param('_done')) {
   ShowReportRun();
 } else {
   ShowReportPage();
 }
 return();
}


sub ShowReportRun {
 <code to run the report>
}

sub ShowReportPage {
 <output the html template>
}
...

Then on your html page have the submit button look like this:

<input type="submit" name="_done" value="Run Report">

I'm converting everything to work like this right now.. should make things 
much cleaner...
