Yes this is exactly what i was doing till now - print html - so this is called CGI?

I was wondering how i can get something from perl to an existing html page but could not find a way, but it seems this way is called json... some of the others mentioned it and it is also in your example. So thank you very much for posting this. I will try it out and see if i unterstand how it works. :-)

Update: Works perfectly and seems to be the best approach. Just have one question to get it to work with my own existing database

How is this structure

    return [
            { username => "paco",
              fish => "Sunfish", },
            { username => "YourUncle",
              fish => "Coelacanth", },
            { username => "hiragana",
              fish => "Monkfish", },
            { username => "MosaicNL",
              fish => "Sixgill Shark", },
           ];
