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

cgi::compile

CGI::Compile(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 CGI::Compile(3pm)

NAME

       CGI::Compile - Compile .cgi scripts to a code reference like ModPerl::Registry

SYNOPSIS

	 use CGI::Compile;
	 my $sub = CGI::Compile->compile("/path/to/script.cgi");

DESCRIPTION

       CGI::Compile is an utility to compile CGI scripts into a code reference that can run many times on its own namespace, as long as the script
       is ready to run on a persistent environment.

       NOTE: for best results, load CGI::Compile before any modules used by your CGIs.

RUN ON PSGI

       Combined with CGI::Emulate::PSGI, your CGI script can be turned into a persistent PSGI application like:

	 use CGI::Emulate::PSGI;
	 use CGI::Compile;

	 my $cgi_script = "/path/to/foo.cgi";
	 my $sub = CGI::Compile->compile($cgi_script);
	 my $app = CGI::Emulate::PSGI->handler($sub);

	 # $app is a PSGI application

CAVEATS

       If your CGI script has a subroutine that references the lexical scope variable outside the subroutine, you'll see warnings such as:

	 Variable "$q" is not available at ...
	 Variable "$counter" will not stay shared at ...

       This is due to the way this module compiles the whole script into a big "sub". To solve this, you have to update your code to pass around
       the lexical variables, or replace "my" with "our". See also <http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#The_First_Mystery> for more
       details.
