Dear All,
I am in the concluding stages of writing a program that will allow a user to perform a search. It wont actually work as i need to access external biology databases who cnat as yet grant me access. SO, what im trying to do is knock up a prototype to show the project manager what can be done, creating graphs etc.

The only thing is, i need the code to work using BioPerl, which doesnt have DBD, DBI, GD::Graph, Archive::Zip and a few other things i need.

I have an online DB stored in Biolinux and want to show them that i can upload data to this DB. I know that they can download the necessary modules later but they are not sure about the methods.
But, with no DB handling means i dont think it can be done with perl.

Thus, i want to try and run a PHP script to rip data from a text file and bung it into the DB. I have got a simple thing working but i dont have a clue how to call the PHP script from inside my CGI perl code.

Simply Can i run PHP using my perl cgi script.. run off a button press
Can this be done............
Cheers.
