I assume what you are asking is this: "can I have a Web form submit its data to the same script on different servers?"

While you might be able to pull something off with JavaScript, you couldn't guarantee that all browsers would handle that properly. Just a straight HTML form will only submit its data to the resource listed in the forms action attribute.

What I would do is submit the form to a server side process that acts as a user agent and resubmits the data to the other servers. See LWP and LWP::UserAgent.

If you only need to work with GETable forms, you can forego the LWP suite entirely by dynamically generating frames with appropriately crafted src attributes for each of the target forms.

The added bonus to going this way is you don't have to worry about authentication or people using your script to DoS others, since the actual GETing is done by the user's browser. :)

I assume what you are asking is this: "can I have a Web form submit its data to the same script on different servers?" Yes, exactly. Thank you for your answer. I have something like "clasifieds.pl" placed at 6 different servers and I like to have admin possibility for adding the same clasified to all of them from one form. I'm afraid, I can run scripts and have some experience but cannot coding, still. I realize I need a script which duplicate data but I cant do it by myself. Sorry for my english. Regards Janusz

It's difficult to understand your question, but I believe you are asking 'if you can have the same script on different servers send the information to a single data source'.

Yes you can, the easiest and most productive is to setup a server running a database server like MySQL or PostgreSQL. You can then make as many remote network connections as you want easily with DBI. There are many examples of how to do this in the DBI docs.
