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..

hobbit-enadis.cgi

HOBBIT-ENADIS.CGI(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      HOBBIT-ENADIS.CGI(8)

NAME

       hobbit-enadis.cgi - CGI program to enable/disable Xymon tests

SYNOPSIS

       hobbit-enadis.cgi (invoked via CGI from webserver)

DESCRIPTION

       hobbit-enadis.cgi is a CGI tool for disabling and enabling hosts and tests monitored by Xymon. You can disable monitoring of a single test,
       all tests for a host, or multiple hosts - immediately or at a future point in time.

       hobbit-enadis.cgi runs as a CGI program, invoked by your webserver.  It is normally run via a  wrapper  shell-script  in  the  secured  CGI
       directory for Xymon.

       hobbit-enadis.cgi  is  the back-end script for the enable/disable form present on the "info" status-pages. It can also run in "stand-alone"
       mode, in which case it displays a web form allowing users to select what to enable or disable.

OPTIONS

       --no-cookies
	      Normally, hobbit-enadis.cgi uses a cookie sent by the browser to initially filter the list  of  hosts  presented.  If  this  is  not
	      desired,	you  can  turn off this behaviour by calling bb-ack.cgi with the --no-cookies option. This would normally be placed in the
	      CGI_ENADIS_OPTS setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5)

       --env=FILENAME
	      Load the environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI.

       --area=NAME
	      Load environment variables for a specific area. NB: if used, this option must appear before any --env=FILENAME option.

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/maint_{header,form,footer}
	      HTML template header

BUGS

       When using alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the Enable/Disable page if this is accessed from the primary page in  which  they
       are  defined.  So  if  you have hosts on multiple pages, they will only be visible for disabling from their main page which is not what you
       would expect.
