If the value you want to send back to php is an integer you could just
say
exit $number;
from perl and that will be put into your $var.
Otherwise use exec() instead of system.
exec("/path/to/perlscript.pl", $scriptOutputArray, $scriptExitValue);
Anything that gets printed from the perl script should show up in the
$scriptOuputArray.
