Greetings Perl Gurus, I'm hoping someone can give me a nudge in the right direction here, I have a HTML form that a user will fill in, which goes to a standard Perl CGI program to massage the data, I then need that program to call a remote executable file and capture the output from a https://, massage the output from the executable, then create some HTML, however I'm not sure on how to call this remote executable program. Thus far I have tried running the "system ($run_the_prog);" command, where the variable is "https://remote_server/program.exe?var1=test+var2=test" etc, however that seemed to fail as the command was not understood (which I didn't think it would understand from the command line!). I've also tried to create a HTML page from within Perl and use an auto-submit to send the data to the remote server, however this returns the output to the browser, rather than my program. I'm sure this has been done before .... if you know how I can do this, I'd appreciate a direct email as I'm on the digest list, and may not get the response until tomorrow. Thanks in advance!!
