add and echo <STDIN> on form 1

[linctus]

Hi all!
I have a perl script that when called displays a form for user input of figures (one figure for each day of the week).
Currently the user also keys the total for the week.

I was woundering if perl could be used to add up the entries as they are keyed and display the total on the form (real time)as the figures are entered.

This could be done using Javascript on the form but I would love to see how one would achieve this using perl.

It can be done using server side Perl in real time, at least not easily.

The perl script can add it on the server side to validate if needs be

perlscript could prbably do it, but you'd need a compatible setup AFAIK

Thanks PaulTeg, I didn't think it would be easy but now at least I know were to start looking to set it up. I didn't think it sounded possible direct from the form as an echo (<STDIN>) type comand.
