(You could also run the Perl script by using back-quotes, shell-script style.)
Hi BerntB,

Thanks for your answer. Can you be a bit specific? Example?
Here is what I have at the moment: 
sub print_results {
    my @top = param('toppings');
    print b('Customer name: '), param('customer'), br,
    "You ordered  ",
        param('no_unit'), ' unit of  ', param('cone'), ' cone.';
    print br;

    my $value = `perl compute_price.pl -type param('cone') -unit param
+('no_unit')`;

    # Still doesn't show the value. What did I do wrong??
    print 'Total price is', $value;
}

But it doesn't show the price as you try see from the link I have above. Is there anything I did wrong?
It seem to me CGI script has different property with Perl script. Maybe backquote is not for it?

Regards,
Edward
