I have a problem linking my cgi script to the perl function. 
I have perl functions to perform manipulations to the database.
I am creating a web front end to it. I have a html form which accepts data 
from the user and calls the cgi script ( in perl)which processes this data , 
performs validation and passes the form data as parameters to a perl 
program. My cgi script seems to work fine as far as processinng goes. My 
perl program works too. But I am not able to call the perl program from the 
cgi script. I am tryin to test the main perl program by having lots of HTML 
output statements. but it doesn't appear on the webpage. 
 suppose my form values are stored in variables 
$a = param('name')
$b = param('age')
 Now I need to call a perl function wth $a, $b as parameters.
My $string = "perl test.pl $a $b"
system($string)
 This is wht I am using now. when I try eg: perl test.pl john 12 It works. 
And the variables are bnided properly in cgi script. I cheked to make sure. 
Can anyone suggest how i should proceed.
 Thanks in advance
