Hi,
Thanks for your reply. That's cool, I hope it was of some help. I'm not sure how the stderr etc. get returned, I was saying >2&1 or whatever you write in bash to redirect (merge) stderr to stdout, and write to a file, but I did do massaging of web page outputed by c++ program so that much is certainly doable. I forget how I did it, you use backticks or also there is a module to do it too I believe, see the long mod_perl manual on the big mod_perl developers site. Good luck!
