Yes.  The results from javascript can be put into hidden fields and passed to the perl script behind the form that contains javascript.
 
crude example:
 
 
<head>
<SCRIPT language="JAVASCRIPT">
  <!--
 
 function checkForm(){
  var location = document.SearchForm.location.value;
  eval (document.SearchForm.hidden_field.value = location;);
  document.SearchForm.submit();
      return true;
 }
 
 
 // -->
 
</SCRIPT>
 
<title>Test Form</title>
 
<center>
<form name= "SearchForm" action="">
 
<input type="text" size="20" maxlength="20" name="location">
<input type="hidden" name="hidden_field" value="">
<input type="button" value="enter data" >
 

</form>
 
 
 

PERL Script:
 

#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe
 
=pod
=head1     Test script
=head2 
=over 4
 
=item 1
 
Function:  Script pulls data from hidden field.
 
=back
=cut
 
 

use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
 

my ($hidden_field);
 

$cgi = new CGI;
$hidden_field = $cgi->param('hidden_field');
 
&do_something($hidden_field);
 
 
 
exit(0);

Subject: Javascript and Perl Help!!

Is there anyway to take the results of Javascript code and use them in Perl?
 
For example I have code that retrieves a cookie.  I want to use the value of that cookie in Perl to run some mySQL queries.  Can anyone help?
