in reply to reverse script

Not so sure it can be done, not if I understand you correctly.

No webserver is going to execute code that is sent by a browser, they are not really in the business of two-way communication.

You are going to need server access. Now, if you do have that, you'll be able to write whatever you want on the server end -- some kind of program to return the results you're looking for. But, as far as the browser submiting perl code for execution, I don't think that's such a good idea.

    Hmm, "simple", feed a form to a perl programme to eval the contents, print back output and error messages, if any. Though that could easily be done, it is highly dangerous. If you can execute arbitrary code on that machine through a web form, so could others too.
