Have a look at LWP and in particular LWP::UserAgent - you could

Thanks but I have a new problem resulting from this -> I need the
output of the other CGI program to be seen by my users. The other
CGI program is not ours so I cannot modify its functionality.
Then not just check for success or failure, but retrieve the output
from the other program.
This is what is supposed to happen:
1. User sends data to my script using an html form
2. My script (the one I want to modify) processes data, then calls
a 3rd-party script
3. 3rd-party script processes data, then calls another local
script of mine.
*Another* local script? You shouldn't overdo it. ;-) Just let the
first script retrieve the output from the 3rd-party script by help of
LWP::UserAgent, and have it display it.
