Subject: NPR --  A PERL Programming Question

Hello...  Any PERL Pros out there that could help me out???  PLEASE ! ! !


Here is the situation... I have a subroutine in a .pl file that goes out
and tests a credit card...  I am choosing to use the "system" command to
do this subroutine in my .pl file. 

Unfortunately (for me) is that the "system" process is returning the PID
of the process and not the actual value of the "system" call.

If I run the .pl file from my BASH prompt it tells me the correct
answer.  If I run in from the web it returns the PID of the system
subroutine.

Can anybody tell me how to capture the actual string returned from the
system process in ths .pl file and not the PID of the process?

Here is my .pl file...

***********************************************************************

#!/usr/bin/perl

##########
## Format that web browsers will like

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

@_ = "/usr/local/bin/curl -d \"M_id=995057\&M_key=W4H3D9\&C_name=John+Doe\&C_address=1234+AnyStreet\&C_city=San+Antonio\&C_state=TX\&C_zip=78232\&C_email=jarrod\@cyberfan.com\&C_cardnumber=4111111111111111\&C_exp=0509\&T_amt=1.00\&T_code=01\" \"https://myprocessorwebsite.dll?transaction\"";

print system(@_);

1;

***********************************************************************


Again...  It works perfectly from the BASH prompt.  It gives me the
string that gets returned from the transaction on the command line.

If I call on this .pl from the web environment it is returning the PID of
the "system" process and not the string that comes from the transaction
server.

Any help would be most appreciated.


Thank You ! ! !
