I am getting the unix command from html form and executing it in perl. It returns me 256. I am new to perl programming and please help me. My HTML file is as follows: 
<html>
<head><title>Commands</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/Perlprogs/unix.pl" method="ge
+t">
<input type="text"  name= "t1" /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="command" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

unix.pl

#!"D:/xampp/perl/bin/perl"
print "Content-type: text/html \n\n",
"<html>";
"<head><title>command</title></head><body><p>\n";
use CGI ':standard';
my $cmd= param('t1');
$re=system($cmd);
print "<h1>result </h1> <br /> $re <br /> </p></body></html>"
