How to pass data from server (CGI script) to client (html page)
Hi
I know how to pass data from client side (html file) to server using CGI script (POST method).
I also know how to re-create the html page from server side after receiving the data (using printf).
However I want to write static pages on client side (only the structure), and only to pass information (data) from server to client (which data to display in the form created statically).
1. How do I pass the data from the server side?
2. How does the client side receive the data from the server?
Thank you
Naama
p.s. I am working on embedded product with Linux as OS

plack::handler::cgi
Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Plack::Handler::CGI(3pm)
NAME
Plack::Handler::CGI - CGI handler for Plack
SYNOPSIS
Want to run PSGI application as a CGI script? Rename .psgi to .cgi and change the shebang line like:
#!/usr/bin/env plackup
# rest of the file can be the same as other .psgi file
You can alternatively create a .cgi file that contains something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Plack::Loader;
my $app = Plack::Util::load_psgi("/path/to/app.psgi");
Plack::Loader->auto->run($app);
This will auto-recognize the CGI environment variable to load this class.
If you really want to explicitly load the CGI handler, you can. For instance you might do this when you want to embed a PSGI application
server built into CGI-compatible perl-based web server:
use Plack::Handler::CGI;
Plack::Handler::CGI->new->run($app);
DESCRIPTION
This is a handler module to run any PSGI application as a CGI script.
UTILITY METHODS
setup_env()
my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env();
my $env = Plack::Handler::CGI->setup_env(\%override_env);
Sets up the PSGI environment hash for a CGI request from %ENV> and returns it. You can can provide a hashref of key/value pairs to
override the defaults if you would like.
