in reply to how do i call a perl script on onClick event of the button

not actually Perl related, it's javascript related, and it won't run with JavaScript disabled browsers... your best bet is to use a submit button, other wise, add this to the input tag: 

onClick = "self.location='your_perl_script.pl?with=possible&parameters
+=passed';"
