I have a webform which retrieves data and passes it to a CGI script. My script retrieves 3 variables which then have to run 4 different C++ programs to retrieve the information i want

At the moment i have defined my commands as 
$command1="/cgi-bin/c++prog1"."|"
$command2="/cgi-bin/c++prog2"."|"
$command3="/cgi-bin/c++prog3"."|"
$command4="/cgi-bin/c++prog4"."|"

[download]
and run them using the system command 
system("$command1");
system("$command2");...

[download]
but the script is not working!

If i want to run a simple script then using a simple filehandle command does the trick but i need to run all 4 programs in the order that they are!

Is there anyone there that can help me?

thanking you in advance
