Hi,
Thanks for the tip Robby! (on my way I even found a soap pear package but that's an other story...)
I had a look at it, but it works only with php5, and I'm hosted on php4. So even if I can use it locally I won't be able to use it on line.
So I'm back at my starting point.....
My question was has somebody here ever done an "hybrid" application, with perl and php? Is there a way of doing it without going through the "system" command? If not how can I ensure the security of that call? Is there something obvious here that I'm missing?
Thanks for any help.

Try this perhaps: http://pecl.php.net/package/perl
