Re: Perl and PHP

If the value you want to send back to php is an integer you could just say exit $number; from perl and that will be put into your $var. Otherwise use exec() instead of system. exec("/path/to/perlscript.pl", $scriptOutputArray, $scriptExitValue); Anything that gets printed from the perl script should show up in the $scriptOuputArray. -Steve On Wednesday, March 6, 2002, at 04:19 PM, Michael Hess wrote:

If you're running a perl script on the command line you would use /path/to/perl/script.pl value1 value2 value3 ... In your perl script $ARGV[1] should hold value1, $ARGV[2] should hold value2, etc. -Steve On Wednesday, March 6, 2002, at 02:48 PM, lists@mhess.qn.net wrote:
