You see, with cgi scripting if you attempt to write to the browser without
first printing
"Content-type: text/html\n\n"
You will get an error, and I thing this is what you are seeing.
If your "validate.exe" displays any information, you need to somehow
capture this, and then figure out in your script if it is a SUCCESS or a
FAILURE.
If this was on a ?nix platform, you could use "command ticks" instead of
system. That is:
my $pass_out = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
Then when you are readied the browser for output display, you can either
display the result o the query, or a "Validation failed!!!" message.
Let me know if this is helpful, if not I can send you a sample code.
