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..

bb-ack.cgi

BB-ACK.CGI(1)						      General Commands Manual						     BB-ACK.CGI(1)

NAME

       bb-ack.cgi - Xymon CGI script to acknowledge alerts

SYNOPSIS

       bb-ack.cgi?ACTION=action&NUMBER=acknum&DELAY=validity&MESSAGE=text

DESCRIPTION

       bb-ack.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-ack.sh CGI wrapper.

       bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.

PARAMETERS

       ACTION is the action to perform. The only supported action is "Ack" to acknowledge an alert.

       NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged.  It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Xymon.

       DELAY is the time (in minutes) that the acknowledge is valid.

       MESSAGE	is  an	optional text which will be shown on the status page while the acknowledgment is active. You can use it to e.g. tell users
       not to contact you about the problem, or inform them when the problem is expected to be resolved.

OPTIONS

       --no-pin
	      bb-ack.cgi normally requires the user to enter the acknowledgment code received in an alert message. If you run it with this option,
	      the user will instead get a list of the current non-green statuses, and he may send an acknowledge without knowing the code.

       --no-cookies
	      Normally,  bb-ack.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_ACK_OPTS
	      setting in hobbitcgi.cfg(5)

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

FILES

       $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/acknowledge_form
	      Query form displayed when bb-ack.cgi is called with no parameters.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.

BUGS

       When  using  alternate pagesets, hosts will only show up on the acknowledgment 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 acknowledging from their main page which is not what you
       would expect.
