You may define its default argument in %action_args . Then they can be 
extracted from the url and affected to parameters as defined in 
"action_args" hash.  Do it even if your procedure is not supposed to 
have argument (see exemple  'home').

I am note very sure of what you are looking for. I guess you want to 
control what sympa will do after do_sendssopassword. An action 
subroutine can finish with "return 1" or "return 'somenewaction' " so 
wwsympa will continue with the new action requested. This is used in 
subroutine do_login to exec the login request and return to the previous 
action (the page wehe the authentication was requested). In can be used 
also to redirect the user the page where is comming from if the variable 
$in{'referer'} is initialized. Have a look at all "return" ending 
do_login subroutine it will give you a clear idea of how it works.

Hope this help.
