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..

virtual - Perform an Apache sub-request
SYNOPSIS
bool virtual (string $filename)
DESCRIPTION
virtual(3) is an Apache-specific function which is similar to <!--#include virtual...--> in mod_include. It performs an Apache sub-request.
It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you would parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script,
the script must generate valid CGI headers. At the minimum that means it must generate a Content-Type header.
To run the sub-request, all buffers are terminated and flushed to the browser, pending headers are sent too.
This function is supported when PHP is installed as an Apache module or by the NSAPI server module in Netscape/iPlanet/SunONE webservers.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The file that the virtual command will be performed on.
RETURN VALUES
Performs the virtual command on success, or returns FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
See apache_note(3) for an example.
NOTES
Warning
The query string can be passed to the included file but $_GET is copied from the parent script and only $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] is
filled with the passed query string. The query string may only be passed when using Apache 2. The requested file will not be listed
in the Apache access log.
Note
Environment variables set in the requested file are not visible to the calling script.
Note
This function may be used on PHP files. However, it is typically better to use include(3) or require(3) for PHP files.
