Oh man,,,, I was all happy, and then I tried it, it worked great when running it from the prompt, but still just kind-of dies when done from the php app. I am hating this part! Here is where I am calling my perl script: 

$run="snmp-wdr -c mrtgtest $request &";
echo "<BR>COMMAND SENT: $run<BR>";
$setsys=system($run);

DANG!
I am wondering if it has something to do with the mysql commands in the perl script, it appears that snmp-wdr IS running, and that is DOES start using snmp, but the mysql commands in the script are not functioning. Maybe that is why it works perfect from prompt, but not from web system()?? 

use hand
while code!=$working
bash $head
