I have a website cgi-bin program that is written in c++.
Unfortunately the website provider for my friend’s site only allows Perl or PHP cgi-bin scripts.
Is there an easy way to simply have a very small Perl or PHP wrapper that just calls the c++ compiled binary?
Would the c++ program still be able to read from stdin for POST commands or would it have to be read by the Perl or PHP and then forwarded.
You can use Perl’s backticks or ‘system’ commands to run shell commands. Also, perl has a lot of ‘Inline’ classes that allow you to write code in other languages to be called in perl, including one for C++. If you can’t find something that works, maybe you can make your own wrapper using that package.
