call an external c++ program

[Deb.Fang]

I am having the hardest time finding information on the web so maybe
someone could help. I have a perl CGI script accepting data from a
form, this part is easy. But then, depending on the data from the
form I need to call a C++ program and pass the data I just received to
this c++ program. Then my C++ program will output results to a txt
file. Then I use XML to get the output file formatted.
now, I am stuck in the step how to call the c++ program and pass the
data to the c++ program.

I've found a lot of different references, but none have helped. If you
have any input it would be appreciated.

First question: why do you need Perl at all? Why not write your CGI
program in C++?

You do know that people get hung by their %s, $s, @s and &s for making
such a remark?

Josef, who could not resist

perldoc -f system

Dozens of different methods, depending on how you want to do it. Perl pretty
much supports all the standard interprocess communication methods from
signals and parameters to pipes, sockets, and and and. You name it, Perl got
it.

Details about what?

You get the details on Perl functions by reading the standard
documentation that comes with perl.

If you don't understand what the docs for the system() function
mean, then ask a question about what the docs for system() say.
