You can do a callci from Perl like this:

        system("callci command parameters");

Everything you always want to know about Perl CGI can be found at:

        http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/

The first example on that page works on MPE.  Just change the first line of the
script to #!/PERL/PUB/perl.

When doing callci from Perl, it's important to realize that traditional MPE
commands and programs will use unbuffered output.  This won't mix well with
Perl's normally buffered output, and so you need to tell Perl to also use
unbuffered output by doing:

        $| = 1;

If you don't do this in CGI applications, your CGI will fail to work properly
under the web server, but will appear to work properly if you execute it
directly from a terminal session.
