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

[user perl]

No, they are real filenames. Let me explain what I'm writing this CGI script for. I'm taking an input file and making it into a format that is suitable for running svm_classify on it. So, I parse the given file and store the formatted data in "input-file.dat". I already have a model file called "model-file.dat". Now, "svm_classify" takes these two files as inputs and generates the output file whose name I have to provide as the third argument, (say) output-file.dat. How do I execute svm_classify now? By the way, I'm writing this script on a file server, so do I have to give the actual path which is something like "/.automount/..." instead of "/home/..." ?

Thanks,
MP.

  Right, but you still need to give it the full path so instead of that
  use:

  `/path/to/cgi-bin/svm_classify $input_file $model_file $output_file`

  As Im' assuming those were placeholders and not the real file names.
