trick for you. You use the Perl script in the action attribute of

to the php script from the perl script in the query string of the url.
At that point, why not just have Perl call PHP?
Surely Perl can do something not unlike 'exec' or whatever to run any
shell script you want...
I sure wouldn't do another round trip to the browser and add JS into
the middle of this solution, if it's viable...
Wouldn't work for me, as I can't do Perl.
Perl could, could of course do the whole job. But since the Original
Poster was (I assumed) not particularly familiar with Perl, I was
essentially providing a Perl script to do the base essentials. So my
hack would put him right back into PHP. If he execs from Perl to a PHP
script to do the processing, then he would have to augment the Perl
script to send back HTML to the browser, and if he can do that he can
probably stick with the Perl altogether. Anyway, that was my reasoning.
