Hi list, I have written some small perl programs for the ftp to site, getting the data n metadata, processing it and generating the status in a text file. Now i need to have a web interface to this. so i have few questions: 1. perl - cgi or php? 2. how do i execute the perl programs on a different system than the web server. 3. and also get the status back on the web server 4. some programs like ftp to site may take around 1 hr to finish, so how to tackle this situation.
This is to start with.... I wld really appreciate your help in formulating a solution. Thanks,
