Running a Perl script from PHP file and storing its result in a php variable

[sheikhmdirfan]

Hello everyone,

 

I have XAMPP installed on my windows xp system.

 

I have a php file from which i want to run a Perl script and take the output of the perl script in a PHP variable and display it.

 

 

I would like to know how this can be done and is there any setting that i need to change

 

                            OR

 

do i need to download and install any package or anything.

 

If yes then where i have to install that or where i have to keep the downloaded package.

 

Please give an example if possible..

 

Any help will be highly appreciated..

 

Thanks in advance...
