Greetings fellow Monks!

I'm trying to run an AT command from a CGI script... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

#run myprog.cgi now
`intranet/myprog.cgi idnumber=218`;

#run myprog.cgi 2 minutes from now
`at now + 2 minute <<EOF`;
`/intranet/myprog.cgi idnumber=220`;
`EOF`  ;
exit;

[download]

Problem1:
When run offline, the idnumber is successfully passed to the CGI but mailed at the same time, rather than a 2 minute interval.

Problem2:
When run online (from browser) the cgi doesn't pass the idnumber from the AT command.

I've tried experimenting with SYSTEM and EXEC with little success.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers
Steve
