note kutsu <p>[|backticks] and [doc://system] are not the same
(seeing as you want to capture the output backticks is proably
what you want) but yes using system or backticks always opens up
a potential security hole anytime it's used (not to say it can't
be closed).</p> <p>The main point is that a cgi script where a
module is needed is confusing and harder to maintain - I just
wanted to make sure you were aware of this. Though make sure the
script is read-only as you are calling it with 'perl ...' and
this will prevent it from being called through the
webserver.</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-261960">
