in reply to Running external apps

(I seem to remember a question along very similar lines in the past week.)

You need to provide more information about what it is you're trying to do. Specifically,

  • What operating system is the webserver on? What version of Apache? What version of Perl?
  • What exactly are you trying to generate? A spreadsheet? I'm not sure what a "quote from values" is.
  • How are you trying to provide the ability to print? Are you attempting to serve a response directly to the client-side printer? That is a very difficult problem, unless you also control the setups of the client-side systems and, even then, it's not trivial. It's also not a Perl problem.

In other words, don't give us the specific problem you're trying to solve. You need to give us the whole problem before we're going to be of much service.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
