addpop (cgi help..) 1

[ThomasJSmart]

hello,
iv just started playing around a bit with cgi but iv got no idea what im doing


iv built a cms with php and i want to be able to make new email accounts from within this cms.

the site and cms is hosted on a linux server with a cpanel interface, from within this cpanel interface its possible to make/edit/delete email accounts. a script that comes with cpanel that can make new email accounts is in a file called addpop and is programmed in perl. iv managed to copy the addpop file to the cgi-bin for the website but what do i do now?

if i try to download the file from ftp i get an "error downloading file" error. i can open the file using secure telnet to see what the source is but i dont realy understand how to call it and make a new account.

any help or links to online help much apreciated.
Thomas
