Re: I want to know how my perl program and my HTML can dynamicaly communicate?

HTML is a markup language. It doesn't "communicate". You're going to need to be a lot more explicit about what you're trying to do here (and by that I mean an end result) in order for us to help you.

The CGI module can allow your Perl script to generate HTML on-the-fly, if that's what you're after.

I just had my thought, a day too late. Using javascript (driven by the timer object) you could have the browser continuously refreshing GIF pictures provided by a perl program. Technically not HTML, but reading between the lines that's probably what he wanted. I reckon reaping the guys node was a little over the top... we've tolerated questions on apache and IIS before. Update: There was also a HTML extension I recall reading about that allowed the client to go and get data from databases and the like and present it on the webpage without the intervention of the html server. I wish I could remember what it was called. That would do the trick here too. ____________________ Jeremy I didn't believe in evil until I dated it.	[reply]
