Hi monks,

Has anyone used Phonegap with Ajax and Perl (and MySQL) as the backend to create an android or iOS app? I have a website created with Perl (and MySQL) and Ajax and would like to convert it to an app that can be downloaded on an Android phone or Iphone (just like a native app but made with Phonegap(with html, css and ajax)).

I have installed Phonegap Desktop on Windows and have gotten as far as seeing the Success message displayed on the PhoneGap app on my Iphone. I am also able to display alert messages on the PhoneGap app from my custom Javascript code. However I am unable to display data from my Ajax call via Perl as the backend. I get the response status 0 (using my local server address 192.168.1.12 (also tried localhost) for about AJax GET and POST).

Is it even possible?
