Hi all

I've been using XMLHttpRequest with PHP but the time has come where i need the features of perl! But i've fallen at the first hurdle....

when using XMLHttpRequest with php you can send a response back by using "echo"

I cant seem to find a way of sending a response back in perl, anyone know of something similar to echo? I've looked through LWP but couldnt find anything suitable??

thanks

That would be print. Here's the most simple perl/cgi-script:

Notes:
* You might need to change the path in the first (shebang) line, it depends on your platform...
* Change text/plain to text/html if you want to return HTML
* print is standard perl and has nothing to do with CGI/LWP - everything sent to standard out is send to the users browser.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
echo "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
echo "It is simple";
Try this
