Hi,
I am trying to return response from perl script to the HTML form. Those HTML form and perl file are located on a different servers. Form 1 is sending text to the form.pl file. File is processing that text. But, I do not know how to return response from perl file to the HTML form 2. Can somebody help me with this?
# Do something simple
$b = substr ($a, 5, length($a)-18);
# print "Befor $a\n";
# print "After $b\n";
# How to return $b results to the Form 2
I'm unclear on what you're trying to do. Are you asking how to take a form submission via a perl script, and then print some of the results out into a different form?

Ctb,
Yes. This is my question.
Those forms should be the HTML forms and located on the same page.
So, user should see submitted value in HTML form 1 and returned by perl script results in HTML form 2.
Something like this:
Submitted by user Name: John Smith
Returned by perl script Your name is: Johh
Can you help me with this?
The CGI and HTML::Template modules will be able to help you. CGI will allow you to easily access the incoming form data. HTML::Template will allow you to embed special tags on the HTML page in question that can be used to fill in data when it is available.
Once you've taken a look at the documentation for these two modules and played around with some examples, if you have any specific questions feel free to continue posting them in this thread.
