<p>If the script doesn't take too long to execute and you do not need to process it's results then a wrapper script like this should be enough to get you up and running:</p>
<code>
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
@ARGV = ();
foreach ($q->param()) {
$value = $q->param($_);
$value =~ s/"/\\"/g;
push @ARGV, "--" . $_ . '="' . $value . '"';
}
do 'path/to/the/script.pl';
</code>
<p>All it does is it moves the parameters from the querystring or post into the @ARGV array (array of script parameters) in the format required by the script and then executes the script without starting a new process.</p>
<p>As long as the script prints its results to STDOUT they should be sent to the client browser.</p>
