I have an html form created.
I have perl that works from a command line.
Now, I'd like to combine the two for a nice UI with perl in the background.
What are best practices/advice for the below?

1-The first drop down list in the form is populated from a perl dbi call.
2-The user selects from the drop down list which makes another dbi call.
3-The results of this second call are used to poplulate a second drop down list.
4-The user selects from the second drop down list which makes a third dbi call.
5-The results of this third call are used to populate text fields.
6-The user can make changes to the text fields and click a button which makes changes to the database.

Any suggestions on getting started on this (show me how, or point me to a good reference) are appreciated.

Do you believe in miracles? Yes!
