backtick ignores parametersby unclepliny (Initiate) |

unclepliny has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
For various pragmatic reasons (I don't want to write calendar software scratch) I am invoking a Perl app from within my own Perl code, via the backtick operator:
However, when invoked via qx or ``, the output is the default view as defined in webcal.cgi (current month, May). In other words, the name/value paramters seem to get ignored by Perl's backtick operator. You can see an example here: http://www.hopecancer.org/cgi-bin/site/hcm.cgi?happenings_calendar= Since this works from the commandline, I don't think that I am dealing with a bug in the script I am invoking. Any suggestions as to where I am losing the name=value params? Much appreciated, Pliny.
