[ale] perl CGI

[David S. Jackson]

Hi,

I was wondering if you can make a cgi perl script which interactively
feeds information to another website and calculates postage, then
returns that value to the function.  Does such a thing already exist?

Example:  You order a CD from x.org; a cgi-script computes the weight
of your order and which package/envelope will be used; the cgi-script
enters those values in a forms-based website (a la www.canadapost.ca)
and uses the return value to compute the total cost of the order for
the x.org customer.

TIA!
