Subject: How can I call a Perl function from HTML?

example

> #!/usr/bin/perl

> sub SomeFunction {
> $StrVar = $_[0];
> #Some test on the param passed
> if ($StrVar eq 'This is a test')
> return 1;
> else
> return 0;

> What I would like to do is to call my function from inside some JavaScript
> i.e.

> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
> <!-- Begin
