Hello -

I'm trying to allow end user's accessing a web page to click on a button on
that page, which in turn calls pl to snare a value from the page, then run a
command line on the user's local machine to launch an application passing it
the value.  The web page is the result of an application call to perl which
does some dbi queries, and returns the results to an html::template page.
For example,

        Win32 Application -> user clicks button -> perl is called to run SQL
query -> perl generates web page back to user with query results, which
includes another user's machine name (this much is working)

>From that point what I am trying to accomplish is:

        -> web page has another form-like button to launch a remote control
program -> user clicks button -> perl runs cgi-like with the pc name
variable then goes to exec the Win32 cmd line to launch the remote control
program, appending the machine name to the command.

I don't want another web page generated, and the remote control program
resides on the user's pc.  I've already tried Win32::Process, exec, and a
non-perl html link to the executible but none have produced the desired
results.  Has anyone else done something like this successfully?

Many thanks -
Nicole
