Any way to do above or get the same result?

You need to make an HTTP request. You can use e.g. (i)frames or XHR for that./* at this point the script.pl has read a file from the server in to perl

some problems. I downloaded some sample from the net and tested it. The problems
I am having is:
- loadXMLDoc('tes t.dat') does not work but loadXMLDoc('tes t.bin') works. They are
the same file the latter having a different name.
- loadXMLDoc('/somedir/test.bin') does not work
- loadXMLDoc('//somedir//test.bin') does not work
(somedir is an existing directory)
I've made full access to the file. Are there some rules as to what names I can
use and where they can reside?
Here's the full source
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlhttp;
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
xmlhttp=null;
if (window.XMLHttp Request)
{// code for IE7, Firefox, Opera, etc.
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest( );
}
else if (window.ActiveX Object)
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject(" Microsoft.XMLHT TP");
}
if (xmlhttp!=null)
{
xmlhttp.onready statechange=sta te_Change;
xmlhttp.open("G ET",url,true) ;
xmlhttp.send(nu ll);
}
else
{
alert("Your browser does not support XMLHTTP.");
}
}
function state_Change()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyS tate==4)
{// 4 = "loaded"
if (xmlhttp.status ==200)
{// 200 = "OK"
alert("Success: " + xmlhttp.respons eText);
}
else
{
alert("Problem retrieving XML data:" + xmlhttp.statusT ext);
}
}
}
</script>
