I have google the heck out of this an I cannot get an answer to this. I hate php, but out php guy is too busy and I need HELP!

I want to call a perl script from an html button. But, I just want it to run in the back ground, I don’t need to display anything from it… Would something like this work? 

<html>
<body>
    <p>
        <button onclick=<?php exec('test.pl') ?>Run Perl</button>
    </p>
</body>

I would prefer not to use cgi, I want to keep this as simple as possible.

Thanks

    That will not works, you have to create an action for that:

    <?php
    if (isset($_POST['button']))
    {
         exec('test.pl');
    }
?>
<html>
<body>
    <form method="post">
    <p>
        <button name="button">Run Perl</button>
    </p>
    </form>
</body>
