kee,
What does applname.exe do? What are you trying to do with the results?
You can run the output of the system command to a temp file like this:
system("applname.exe > temp.txt");
then open the temp file, read it and populate variables for display
in the web page.
Or you can run the command through a pipe like this:
open(COMPUTERS,"net view |") or die "can't run";
while (<COMPUTERS>) {
... # populate variables, etc.
};
tell us more,
Glen

I used system trying to invoke an application with syntax:
system("applname.exe");
Perl didn't do anything except print out the output above the system line
to the browser. I ran the same Perl program at the DOS prompt, it works.
Can anyone help, please!
