Need help calling perl from javascript

kruegerm has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have written a perl script I can access from a URL: https://hostname/myweb/myScript.pl?id=1234&stg=13 I get the proper results using the URL

In javascript/jscript, I have tried loading the script ($('#element').load()) - I've tried full ajax calls within a function:

$.ajax({
  url: '/myweb/myScript.pl',
  type: 'post',
  data: {
    'id' : '1234',
    'stg' : '13'
  }
});

If you were using a standard engine like CGI, that POST would/should work fine. Sounds from the SO thread like you’re processing params yourself. A somewhat serious mistake, I argue. That said, `.serialize()` in jquery will probably construct the GET query string you want. Something like (untested!)– `$.ajax({ url: "/myweb/myScript.pl?" + $("#yourForm").serialize() });` [download] An SSCCE will always get you better answers on every forum.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Use sub DebugCGI to figure out what gets sent, adjust your program accordingly	[reply]
