Hi,
I would like to have a family web site on my old imac running osx. there won't be a lot of traffic so no need for a new computer.

I am a computer programmer, but only program in C++ and Java.

I would like to have some perl scripts on my website to make it a bit more interactive.

I have changed permissions on the scripts so that i can see there output thru a web brower by typing something like this: http://localhost/path_to whereever/cgi-bin/my_perl_script.pl

This works great! However I once saw a page where I could put a tag in the html code that would call the perl script and replace the tag with the output of the script. This is what I want to do, but can't remember what I should put in the html.

I also see on this page that the url is followed by a "?" the a bunch of data=value strings. how do i pass these into the perl script?

thanks for your help.

Poul
