I am new to HTML and Perl, but I'm automating a process for my company. I'm using HTML, and I have a perl script on a unix machine that queries a SQL database. The thing is when I run the perl script from the command line on the unix machine, the output is what I want. I have an HTML page that I have created and everything is all set, the 1 missing piece is getting the HTML page to 1. execute the perl script, 2, display the output of the script on the HTML page. I'm not sure of the source code or what else I need. Below is the html page, Note where "NA" is, is where I need the output to be placed in the table. Any suggestions to what the code should be, I've googled for results and have came up empty ? In short, how to I code the HTML page to execute the perl script which is on the unix box and print the data on the html page? 
<TABLE BORDER=2 CELLSPACING=6>
<TR> <TH>Key Milestones</TH>      <TH>Job Name</TH>    <TH>Completed T
+ime in PST</TH>    <TH>SLA</TH> </TR>
<TR> <TD>Transaction Handoff</TD> <TD><LI><A HREF='/cgi-bin/autorep_de
+v_vsl.pl?job_name=dh_box_settle&level=detail'>dh_box_settle</A> </TD>
+    
<TD>NA</TD>
