TGIF All! I hope my thread is relevant and not off-topic here. If it is, please ignore it and I apologize for taking up your time.
I'm currently looking to implement a web function and an OS/X widget utilizing JavaScript's XmlHttpRequest (aka asynchronous javascript, aka AJAX). I thought at first it might make more sense to write the backend part of my script in PHP, but PHP lacks http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-Tail/Tail.pm which I'd like to use for continuous screening of a spool file. I was hoping someone could point me in the correct direction to have Perl properly speak with XmlHttpRequest. My main objective is to use AJAX functionality to speak to Perl on the backend, find me updates to the spool/log file, and push that information back to the JavaScript object which processes it and puts it into the browser. Is what I'm looking for feasible? Make sense? Thank you all, and enjoy your weekend! - sf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
