Xmlhttprequest And Perl

[kvarnerexpress 0]

Hi allI'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??thankskvarnerexpress

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

#!/usr/local/bin/perlprint "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";print "hello";

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.
