include virtual perl-script - submit button opens a new page..
hello 2 all
I can't understand how to insert a perl-script into .shml in a right way. <form> should be working but it's not

doing that: <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/script.cgi?filename"-->
filename is a name of the file which script is using
the script is used for a score show (the number is inside file "filename") + 2 buttons: + and -
when pressing a button it opens a file and changing value to +1 or -1 and instantly showing this number

the form itself:
<form method=post>
<input type=submit name=\"filename\" value=yes class=yes>
<div class=\"votes\">$curscore</div>
<input type=submit name=\"filename\" value=no class=no>
</form>

so, if I'm executing the script in a browser and not through "include virtual" then it works pretty fine just like intended but if through include virtual then when pressing any of submit buttons the page is reloading but file keeps untouched..

I've tryed to put 'action="/cgi-bin/script.cgi"' inside form, but then when pressing submit it will change to a new window just like if I would execute script inside browser itself

so what is the right way to insert script inside shtml so it will works fine just like inside browser?

P.S. btw if I use 'exec cgi' then it works but without ?filename
with ?filename it shows error: invalid CGI ref..

test::script

Test::Script(3) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   Test::Script(3)

NAME

       Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts

DESCRIPTION

       The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
       bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.

       Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.

       That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
       considered unacceptable.

       In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
       that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.

       Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
       safety.

FUNCTIONS

   script_compiles
	   script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );

       The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
       This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.

   script_runs
	   script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );

       The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.

       The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
       local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.

       The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
       be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
