I'm stuck on a problem I'm having with a project. I have a library built
on a MySQL db and am trying to access it via AJAX & Perl.

I start with an HTML page calling a Perl script to populate several
select lists (title, author, subject). User then picks an option (say
book title) which then needs to call another Perl script to provide
details of that choice.

I am stuck trying to pass a variable (say the option choice) back to
AJAX so that I can use it to call the next Perl script.

Is this something that is even possible with AJAX? Needless to say AJAX
is new to me.

I have an existing library running strictly on Perl
[http://www.softouch.on.ca/kb/kb.html] and thought I would try it using
AJAX.
