If I interpret "same page" to mean "page that looks like this one" rather than "current page without even reloading", the the answer is pretty simple; in fact the documentation for the CGI module shows pretty much this approach.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use CGI qw/:standard/; $|++; print header, start_html; ### ### Generate your page - everything up to the <div> you want - here ### if (my $search = param('search')){ ### ### Retrieve the results based on the search term ### print div("search_results go here"); } ### ### The content you want after the search <div> goes here ### print end_html;

Otherwise, ikegami and the others are right - it's a JS question.
