Hi guys,

Have been trying to learn cgi and perl since a couple of days. and have been stuck here...

I would like to change the title and contents of table using buttons but have no clue how to proceed.

this is my code so far...

I want the tomorrow and yesterday buttons to change the table and set title button to set the title... can anyone point out how i should proceed??

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use CGI qw(:all) ;

my $today;
my $thismonth;
my $thisyear;


chomp($today = `date +"%-d"`);
chomp($thismonth = `date +"%-m"`);
chomp($thisyear = `date +"%Y"`);

$cgi = CGI->new;

print $cgi->header,$cgi->start_html("$today.$thismonth.$thisyear");
    
print<<HTML;
<table border=1>
<tr>
    <td><button type="button" onclick="dont know what to put here">Yes
+terday</td>
    <td>$today</td>
    <td>$thismonth</td>
    <td>$thisyear</td>
    <td><button type="button" onclick="dont know what to put here">Tom
+orrow</td>
    <td><button type="button" onclick="dont know what to put here">Set
