Right, I'm trying to piece together a little news script, and different ways to input data, using Perl.
I was just wondering though, is there any way you can use JavaScript to capture the input (via a user prompt), call the variable $whatever and then store that in a DBM file using Perl?
I had a little go, but the user prompt doesn't seem to work and I'm not sure if this is me just doing something wrong or if JavaScript can't accept the variable name as $text (what I'm using).
Cheers for any help.

Oh yeah, I didn't really think that through very well. The idea was to capture some user input via a JavaScript prompt box when the page loads, print the neccesary "Your Message Has been posted" and whatever else, then take the value from the JavaScript variable called $text (which I was slightly unsure of) and assign it to a DBM file.
Cheers for your help.

Really not sure what it is you're trying to do. Perhaps you can elaborate.
A few things though, keep in mind that javascript is client side where as your perl script is server side. So there isn't really any possibility for interaction between them other than javascript taking information from a form/user prompt and then placing that information in a URL which it calls it self.
