Hi,

Use the following to insert the output of a calling to a perl.cgi (just as any other cgi-bin calling) directly into an HTML page... 

<?php 
global $host;
$host=empty($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])? 'http://'.$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_
+HOST']:'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ;

include($host."/cgi-bin/fortune.cgi?add") ;  //php calls Perl cgi & lo
+ads JS vars
?>

And do the following to get your resulting values (allways in an array) from a simple command line call to a perl script: 
<?php
$command='perl d:\xampp\htdocs\modperl\riset.pl';
$array = exec($command);
list($rises,$sets,$tmoon)=explode("|",$array);
?>

This should help.Should this be another snippet? Nah, it's PHP!
