how i can execute a perl script.
I try some commands like:
exec("perl.pl logfile.log 12-10-2000 13-10-2000 >>log.html");
I try the same with system and the other two commands - but no change -
Have somebody any Idea ???

Is the 'perl.pl' script executable and readable by the webserver?
Do you specify the correct path as well?
Try executing '/usr/bin/perl perl.pl ........' if that works.
Is your perl interpreter path properly configured in your perl script?
exec -- Execute an external program
Description
string exec (string command [, string array [, int return_var]])
exec() executes the given command, however it does not output anything. It
simply returns the last line from the result of the command. If you need to
execute a command and have all the data from the command passed directly
back without any interference, use the PassThru() function.
If the array argument is present, then the specified array will be filled
with every line of output from the command. Note that if the array already
contains some elements, exec() will append to the end of the array. If you
do not want the function to append elements, call unset() on the array
before passing it to exec().
If the return_var argument is present along with the array argument, then
the return status of the executed command will be written to this variable.
Note that if you are going to allow data coming from user input to be passed
to this function, then you should be using EscapeShellCmd() to make sure
that users cannot trick the system into executing arbitrary commands.
Note also that if you start a program using this function and want to leave
it running in the background, you have to make sure that the output of that
program is redirected to a file or some other output stream or else PHP will
hang until the execution of the program ends.
See also system(), PassThru(), popen(), EscapeShellCmd(), and the backtick
operator.
