Placeing Perl output in the same page

A daft question probably, I want to write an application which takes input and then provides output to the same HTML Page

However when I use the code

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

it open a new window and any subsequent code appears in the new window

Any ideas ??

Sounds like you have an HTML problem in your source page? Is the target set to something like "_blank"? This would open the new document in a new window. If target is set, either remove it or set the parameter to "_self".

see the content type u r specifying has nothing to do watsoever with the browser opening new window.

i think the way ur script is called is important, it the link is like this,

<a href="yourscript.pl" target="_blank">Click</a>

then ur script will open in new window coz target is specified to oepn a blank window,

so check how ur script is getting called,

hope it helps,
