Are you looking to embed your application inside the client side web page
or are you looking to launch the application on the server passing it
parameters such as a input file and then collecting whatever it outputs
(results) for display on the web page ?
very different techniques are involved , you may want to take a look at
AJAX /JavaScript to accomplish this or a combination of AJAX/JSON and Perl.
Your first step in requesting help should be to lay out just what your trying
to accomplish .
You can use system calls or the back tick operator to accomplish some of
this . It's all Dependant on the platform your using to do the task.
you need to provide more info , such as the platform , What the called program
returns and so forth.
