I can successfully direct output of perl code to create HTML pages. What I would like to do is periodically rewrite an area of the screen while my perl code is executing. An example of how this might be done in another language would be to write the data then write a number of backspaces and then write the new data over the old. The result is that an area of the screen keeps changing.

Another way would be to direct the output to a particular positon on the screen and keep outputting data to that location.

Is there and easy way to do this using HTML. Is there a backspace character in HTML that I could use to do what I talked about above?
 
nope. you will beed java script or DHTML along with CSS possibly. sorry i have no code for you
