This is a bit rough but will allow you to send moderate amounts of
data and get back a status response.

news:Z-*************** *****@comcast.c om... Is it possible to run a Perl script from within a javascript?
I have an existing javascript that provides some data - and I want
to write that data to a text file on my server via a Perl script
(that I also already have).
Both scripts work great - I just don't know how to make them work
together.
Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance for all input.
:)
