I know very little about Perl, and I'm trying to use Perl to parse the
NAME=VALUE pairs from a POST form and then pass some environment variables
and the VALUE strings (in a specific order) to an MPE program through the
MPE program's INFO= parameter (not much data).  To do so I need to know how
to tell Perl to execute the MPE program with an INFO= string specified, and
I can't seem to find a reference that describes how to run a program from
Perl (but I can find many references on calling Perl from C).  I have the
Perl code for parsing the NAME=VALUE pairs and it works.

Also, perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way.  If there is an easier
(non-Perl?) way of doing this, please let me know.

Thanks!

John
