in reply to Pass html selection to perl script

There is nothing special about passing params to Perl. You build your form in HTML, with the action attribute of the <form> tag pointing to the Perl CGI. Then, you use CGI to pull those parameters once the CGI has been called. Example:

use CGI qw(:standard); my $param1 = param('param1'); my $param2 = param('param2'); my $param3 = param('param3');

And so on.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
