Hiya, trying to practise clean clode, i tried to separate html from perl code. Therefor i used the html::Template module, which works good so far. But i only can use "template->output()" once, else the page would get printed twice. Any idea how i could update the page, without having duplicate content showing?

not sure how much my code can help, but here a simplified version of the script using the template: 

use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
use URI::Escape;
use HTML::Template;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $q = new CGI; 

$| = 1;

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "D://...//test.html");
print $q->header();

my $onevariable = $q -> param ("web"); 

print $template->output(); #displays beautiful css styled headline in 
+grid format 

use ownModule;
print '<p id = "any" '; 
ownModuleMethod();  #by responseBufferLimit="0" updates are getting wr
+itten on the website, which i'd like to keep that way, so the user kn
+ows, which data get processed
print '</p> ';



#now removing all the updates
print <<_EOT_;
<script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript><!--
document.getElementById('any').style.display='none'; 
//--></script>
_EOT_

my $amount = ownModuleOtherMethod();
$template->param( AMOUNT => $amount); #now i want the results to displ
+ay
$template->output; #can not do that, else it would print the same cont
+ent again
