Re^3: retrieving value from ajax call to cgi page

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";
