Hi All, I have a situation where in I am calling the below Perl script 

if (param("lremail") && param("lot")) {
    my $address=param("lremailaddress");
    my $lot=param("lot");
    print a({-href=>"$dir/new.pl"},"Back to Top"),br;
    print "Request submitted for $address.",br;
    print "Lot $lot",br;
    print "You will receive an e-mail with a link to the data when the
+ request is complete.";
    print end_html;
    system ("ssh SERVERNAME /test/abc.csh $lot $$ $address &");
    exit(1);

The above script does not run because, when I execute the script its asking for a system password. Then I researched a little and wrote the below command.. 

expect -c 'spawn ssh SERVERNAME /test/abc.csh J213520 06 abc@gmail.com
+ "ls -lh file"; expect "Password:"; send "PASSWORD\r"; interact'

Now this command is executed successfully without any issue but from the command line only. When I incorporate the same(by replacing the system call) within the Perl script, it fails. How can I incorporate this line within the perl script?
