It tells an application such as a web browser how to present the contents of the page text, but that's it. You can have HTML that includes or refers to Javascript (or *cough* *spit* VBScript) code, but the application interpreting the HTML handles it separately, if at all. If you want to mix HTML and Perl [note that it isn't capitalized; nor is Java for that matter], the common way to do it is with a CGI script. CGI scripts are programs that get run by a web server, accepting a request from that server, processing the result in some way -- such as by firing off Java programs in the background -- and then returning results back to the web client, typically in HTML format. You can run CGI scripts on your local computer IF you have a web server, but that's not necessarily a problem. Most versions of Unix will already include some version of the Apache web server, and there are many groups offering pre-packaged versions of Apache along with Perl, MySQL, and PHP for Windows. Once you have Apache installed, there's not much overhead to running things this way -- you just interact with things through a web browser on your computer using <http://localhost/myscript.pl> etc. If you want to do things this way, the beginners-cgi@perl.org list has been set up to help people get up and running with this sort of work. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
