howto execute a perl/cgi script from with php script

[mes123]

Hi,

My site is exclusivly coded in PHP but I have one perl script I'd like top be able to call.

What is the best way of calling this perl script from within my PHP script?

Thanks in advance.

You can't call it. You'll have to execute it externally.

See

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php

for information on PHP's execution functions.
