Return External Value

[JNameNotTaken]

I have a requirement whereby an external source will access my script in order to receive a return value in XML format.

My script will receive some data then based on that, return an XML tag with data in it.

How can a script return data to an external 'caller'?
I can print html with perl to dynamically create web content or write to a file or DB but what is (or could be) meant by return a value?

Any tips or pointers would be great
Thanks Very Much
J
