Concept99 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I'll ask anyway. I am creating an ASP page that (among other things) will allow a user to select an item from a dropdown menu. What I am wanting to know is if it is possible to pass that selection value to a Perl script, and then run the script. For example, the dropdown menu will contain server paths. The perl script would ideally accept the selected server path that is passed to it, and then determine the disk size of that path.

I'm not really sure how to call a Perl script from an ASP page.
I'm also not real sure how to accept input into my Perl script from asp/html.

The reason I am using ASP is because I'm running on a IIS 5.0 Web Server. If it's possible to do this in HTML, that would work also. I'd appreciate any input on this. Thanks in advance.
