try
data : { value1: 'value1' },
Here is my working test, an html page
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-2.0.2.min.js"></script>
<title>test-ajax.htm</title>
<script>
$.ajax({
url: 'process.cgi',
// The type of request.
type: "get",
data : { value1: 'value1' },
success: function( data ){
alert(data);
$( "#value1" ).html( "<strong>" + data + "</strong>" );
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span style="background-color:yellow" id="value1">?</span>
</body>
</html>
and a process.cgi script.
#!perl
# process.cgi
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new;
print $q->header;
print $q->start_html,
'Data returned is '.$q->param('value1'),
$q->end_html;
