What a bunch of poopy answers

Hi,

You need to organize your code (make subs with meaningful names), its like 2nd day programming stuff that people forget about until a framework slaps them in the face with the requirement, but you don't have to be unconcious about it, take charge of your code, give it name, like you would a stuffed animal, it makes playtime all the more interesting

Like this, this is you foo.cgi or foo.pl 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use MyStuff; 
Main( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );
sub Main {
    MyStuff::RunCGI({ 'dbconfig' => { } });
##    print MyStuff::ThisPage( CGI->new({ page => 'thisone', debug=>1,
+in => 'making sure this works, dev, debug'} ) ); 
}

This is your MyStuff.pm 

package MyStuff;
use HTML::Template;
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI();

sub MyStuff::RunCGI {
    my $q = CGI->new;
    my( $headers, $body ) = MyStuff::DispatchCGI( $q );
    print $headers, $body;
}
sub MyStuff::DispatchCGI {
    my( $q ) = @_;
    my $page = $q->page || 'default';
    $page = 'ajax' if $q->request_method eq 'POST' and ...;
    return ThisPage( $q ) if $page eq 'thisone';
    return ThatPage( $q ) if $page eq 'thatone';
    return AjaxPage( $q ) if $page eq 'ajax';
}


sub MyStuff::ThisPage {
    my( $q ) = @_;
    my $template = HTML::Template->new ...;
    $template->param( foo => scalar $q->param('foo') );
    ...
    ...
    return $q->headers, $template->output;
}

sub MyStuff::AjaxPage {
    my( $q ) = @_;
    ...
    return $headers, $body;
}

Your html template should include/link these two javascript files jquery.js myecho.js you can get example myecho.js from Mojolicious::Lite +and jQuery +AJAX + Mojo::Template, it uses jquery to make a http request to a url and retrieve some data from it, and update the webpage/dom/display/divtag the user sees

more subs, cgi101, learn about the internet
