I think this is a typical CGI-developing requirement.As someone in the list has said,

You could have a glance at chapter 12 of Beginning Perl for instance:
http://learn.perl.org/library/begin...3145_Chap12.pdf

Hope that be useful to you.

How are you getting the HTML page in the local machine?

Hy ,

my scenario is have a html page in your c:\statichtmlpage.html
in the section of form i've written like
< form method=post action=perfile.pl>
----
<>

and a perl file that can retrieve params from statichtmlpage.html file and
execute some thing at local machine

i don't want to install any web server :-)

Expecting your valuable suggestions and some sample.

Thanks
Abhishek

Just to double-check, do you realise that from a static HTML file on
the disk you can only read the params as written in the source, and
there's no interaction with anybody with any web browser? No dynamic
content to read?

If you do, then the answer is to look at some HTML parser like
HTML::Parser or HTML::TreeBuilder and extract whatever you need.
Otherwise please reply sketching the flow of execution you have in mind.

So you want a plain text file to do an HTTP session with a local script?

*something* has to send the form's params to the script, i not a web
server then I suppose you could write javascript that will get executed
when they click submit that will take the form's values and run a system
commend to your script with those params, but its going to be very
difficult to server a dynamic web page with a web server to do it :)
