I'm just starting out learning Perl, and I was wondering how I can call an HTML document from a Perl Script.<br><br>I've tried using the HTTP-META REFRESH, and that would work just fine, but it does not work when I try passing variables.<br><br>I've solved this problem by creating a form and using onLoad and the submit() functions of JavaScript, but I really do not like this for three reasons.<br><br>1st:&nbsp;&nbsp;I dislike hopping about from format to format.&nbsp;&nbsp;Very messy.<br><br>2nd:&nbsp;&nbsp;I dislike using JavaScript.&nbsp;&nbsp;It relies on the user having a stable, JavaScript complient browser.<br><br>3rd:&nbsp;&nbsp;It all worked when I was at work, but when I got home and used my own Netscape v4.5 I got a JavaScript error.<br><br>
