They are PHP functions: http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

You would
    $output_lines = array();
    $retcode = 0;
    exec('/path/to/geozip.pl', $output_lines, $retcode);

The array $output_lines will then hold every single line of the output of
geozip. The $retcode variable holds the return code.

As I have no clue about what geozip does, or how it might be called, nor
how the output of the geozip script is formatted, I cannot give further
hints. I'm sure someone will chime in here.
