dinamic cgi with perl

Hi everybody

i got a program that works in a bash environment, and now, i would like to
make a cgi with it, the objective for this program is check the integrity of
the info provided by some text files and if it finds some error ask you for
some info and i would like to be able to introduce it.

To solve it i was thinking on introduce a javascript code into my cgi, but i
don't know how to pass the variable info between perl and javascript.


could any of you tell me how to do it or give me any idea or give me a
solution of how do it?

thanks

pau

I haven't learned AJAX yet (hopefully this summer), but I don't think
you can do it exactly as you have envisioned.
The CGI/Perl script runs on the server and produces some static HTML
code which contains the AJAX. The script finishes. The HTML is sent to
the browser. The browser then renders the HTML and runs any JavaScript
it finds. At this point, you can prompt the user for input. (Or use
plain HTML without JS and just have an HTML form.) If you are using
AJAX, you can now have the JS sent the input to the server and call
the script with the data. The script can generate some output that the
JS would add to the webpage.
The script itself can not directly ask for input.

I learnt AJAX from Mastering Ajax tutorial in developerworks

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/l...ajaxintro1.html

There is also a module cgi::ajax in CPAN that you might want to look at.
