I haven't learned AJAX yet (hopefully this summer), but I don't think you can do it exactly as you have envisioned. The CGI/Perl script runs on the server and produces some static HTML code which contains the AJAX. The script finishes. The HTML is sent to the browser. The browser then renders the HTML and runs any JavaScript it finds. At this point, you can prompt the user for input. (Or use plain HTML without JS and just have an HTML form.) If you are using AJAX, you can now have the JS sent the input to the server and call the script with the data. The script can generate some output that the JS would add to the webpage. The script itself can not directly ask for input.
