Re: [Kc] Executing third party tools using CGI/Perl

[user perl]

Thanks for the reply. However I've installed the svm_classify in the same 'cgi-bin' directory. I'm enclosing my code snippet as below. I'd appreciate if you could suggest me how to modify the line to execute svm_classify.

system "svm_classify input-file model-file output-file";

Thanks,
MP.

  Yeah this shouldn't be a big deal.  Try using backticks instead of
  system like:

  `/full/path/to/svn_classify $input $model $output`;
