How are you supplying input ? If it's via command line arguments, let's say 'arg1' and 'arg2' then it would be worth trying: $out = `d:/abacus/bin/acld.exe arg1 arg2`; If it's via the keyboard, then maybe all you need is: system(d:/abacus/bin/acld.exe); We probably need a little more info about what you want in regard to both input and output.

RE: Executable program from perl script
If you are certain that the acld.exe accepts input from stdin (as opposed to actually reading directly from the console, or creating a GUI input stream, etc), you might try looking at IPC::Open2. This will allow you to read and write from and to the stdout and stdin of the program. Make sure you read the docs, because there are some issues with this module that could cause deadlock. There may also be an expect module on CPAN (at least, IPC::Open2 references it)...
