CGI from Java Script with return to that Java Script

dsailors has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a way to call a CGI script (perl) from JavaScript and return data or perhaps return a return code back to the involking Java Script and allow that JavaScript to interogate the return code or returned Data and perform functions based on what is returned?

I think Ajax is what you need. See here for a simple example, or CGI::Ajax for a Perl module.	[reply]
