in thread display html file from Perl

What is your problem: Do you

... want to output the HTML from the file to the terminal?
... want to show a web page in a browser window?
Or is it something else?

having constructed the HTMLfile, I want to display it via a Perl script programatically/automatically. The HTML file has a series of input forms; it is interactive as opposed to static.	[reply]

If you say "interactive", what do you think should happen if there is user interaction? If you want to run Perl code upon the user interaction, you will need a web server through which you ideally send the HTML data and to which you submit the form data. See Mojolicious::Lite or Dancer2 for a simple webserver and simple way to act upon user interaction. If you want something else to happen, consider describing it in more detail. Personally I am somewhat unclear if you know how a browser, HTML and the webserver interact.	[reply]
