in thread retrieving value from ajax call to cgi page

yeah, i have checked through the firebug and found that the values are passing and also i created a test page and check whether the ajax call is alerting the content of the page and found that, it is working.I think, the problem is with the method, that i use to take the value.

    Okay, let's assume that your javascript does indeed work, and that the problem lies with your script.
    In that case, we will need a more complete example of your code. Is the $cgi object in the current scope? Did you turn on strict and warnings?

    For now, try the following sample: 

    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); # not needed per se, but very usefu
+l for debugging
use CGI;

my $cgi = new CGI();

print $cgi->header("text/javascript");
print "alert('", $cgi->param("value1") || "nothing", "');\n";

      I have tried like this and found that , in the alert box provided in the ajax, the value is printing correctly. The value1 contains 4 values, in the alert box provided in ajax code, the following displays each time with each colunm value of the row.:

        That looks like nonsense, too much html for text/javascript

        http is HEADERS\r\n\r\nCONTENT not CONTENT\r\n\r\nHEADERS
