I am not sure I have a problem as much as a question as to if it can be done. I have created an Apache/Mod_perl2/MySQL group of web modules that act as a framework for xml, xhtml, css, Ajax, etc. presentation of infrastructure and service related components. The framework is proving to be highly scalable and I would like to move other cgi presentation tools into the same framework and get out of the uniquely customer cgi’s for every solution. Scalability of management etc. Here is what I am trying to do…. I have an application interface /script which accepts a URI something like ?script=foo (browser initiated). The application then does some validation of the GET request and passes foo to the persistent database connection (within the handler) to retrieve the script from the database. My question is “within the same GET request, is it possible for the handler to take the perlscript foo, execute it, and pass the results back to the handler?”. I don’t have a problem getting the script but not sure how to actually execute the code. Anyone have any shareable experience on how to do this? Thanks in advance. JB
