Re: Pass the value from perl script to html page

You should remember where are the things that you are using:

1) Your perl is working at the server in your site.
2) But the HTML page, when it is seen by the user, is at HIS OWN browser (no more at your site), ok?

So, are your expecting that all the users of your page are having a working Perl at their computer?

The data that is collected at the HTML page's copy that the user is filling, needs to reach your server's Perl to be processed. Or, if you are programming in JavaScript, the data could be processed at the users browser (if they admit using JavaScript)...

So, to process all the important data filled by any user, you should put some form fields in your page, and a submit button that should send them, through the WWW to your server's cgi script. This is like a .pl file but it ends with .cgi and resides in your /cgi-bin folder. You should read something about CGI programming at this site ( Tutorials).

After having the data, you might show it inside a copy of your original page but built again with your data pasted inside of it. And you just show it, you don't need to save it.

Again, you should read about CGI.
