    I would suggest that you write some more text about what you what to do and how you envision this happening.
    Give an example.

    I am not sure what you mean by "an event on a Web page".

    Perl can act like a simple user who receives a web page and responds with whatever fields need to to be filled in and sends a reply.

    There are complications with Java Script and in that case, Perl cannot execute the code.
    You can however control a browser which can run the Java code.

    I don't know enough info right now to guide further.

    Funny :)

    learn about the internet,Web Programming: For Beginners, to get an overall picture of how the internet works, how tcp/ip, sockets, html, ajax, all fit together....
