You can install this into your home directory on the machine, or put it in
some other directory, if you like. Then, you can
use lib '/directory/where/you/put/CGI::Ajax';
in your script. Then you can use CGI::Ajax as normal.

There are many ways to return XML, yes. You need a CGI script that returns
XML, basically. The larger issue with AJAX is doing something useful with
the XML (or JSON, or whatever) on the client side using javascript.
