 C Here is an example of what I mean:
 C Here is a basic form built with cgi.pm.
 C Name the script test
 
 C print header;
 C if (param(foo)) {
 C print start_html,
 C You Entered: ,em(param(foo)),
 C }
 
 C else {
 C print start_html,
 C start_form(-action=/perl/test),
 C Enter something : ,textfield(foo),
 C submit,
 C end_form,
 C }
 C print end_html;
 
 C Works with no errors under CGI and
 Apache::Registry
 C Then I would add the above script as an include
 in the
 C following page (demo.shtml):
 
 C html
 C head
 C titleTest SSI Page/title
 C /head
 C body
 C pThis is a test page/pbr
 C !--#include virtual=/perl/test --
 C /body
 C /html
 
 C So the when I access demo.shtml, I see the text
 from
 C the HTML page and also the form from the included
 C scipt.
 
 C When I fill out the form and hit submit, the
 returned
 C data gets printed to the screen:
 
 C You Entered plus whatever you entered in the
 form.
 
 C What I would like to do is fill out the form,
 submit
 C it, and end up back to the shtml page with the
 result
 C of the script (rather than the form) included in
 the
 C shtml.
 
 C I understand why this is happening, I am not
 asking
 C why, all I am asking is what is the preferred
 method
 C of accomplishing this.
 C Thanks
 Form action have to be not perl script, but your
 *.shtml file.
 And in your include you must send QUERY_STRING to
 perl script.
 I don't remember exactly, but ther were problems
 with POST data,
 because it I've stoped using SSI.

Thanks for the reply, but what would you use rather
than SSI ?  I am not committed to SSI, it is just what
I know at this moment.

Thanks

Hi all, I have a question about how to pass form data
with mod_perl and SSI.

I have an HTML page with a mod_perl script included.
The script creates a form and takes its input and then
prints output based on the input (pretty basic).  I
have the form action set to the script
(action=/perl/test.cgi), the problem is that when
the form is submitted, the only thing that gets
printed to the screen is the cgi output.

I could have the mod_perl script process the
information and then generate a new URL and appended a
Query_string and then redirect($url1?$foo=$bar).  I am
sure that there is a better way to do this, I just
don't know what it is.



I'm afraid I don't quite understand your description of the problem.  Is 
it that the SSI is not working, or that the CGI isn't getting the right 
 input, or what?  Can you show us some of the code from the HTML page 
and the CGI script?  How are you running the CGI?  Apache::Registry?
