Script for livechat with staffby Andre_br (Pilgrim) |

Andre_br has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello my code-friends,
Hereīs a web one. I am willing to write my own liveChat script, but I am quite confused about how the script should work. I mean, in normal conditions I use Perl scripts as one-time calls, like I-give-you-this-and-you-give-me-that-and-end-of-talk. But for the live chat It would be necessary to keep talking, as new messages from the visitor and the adm staff will have to be server-pushed for both (as they arrive, to avoid obssessive and sometimes pointless refreshing of the client-pull technique). My host doesnīt support mod_perl and also kills scripts after 10 minutes of life. So I donīt know how to procede. This odd CGI dialog format seems too strange for me. Can anyone give me some directions? Iīve tried to find coherent material about this on the web without success. Thanks a lot Andre_br
