You can usually run shell commands using "shell_exec()" or "system()". One
method returns complete output as a string while the other just outputs it.

If you need to manage form data in your Perl program, you might need to find a
creative way of jumping from one program to another or maybe considering
converting the exiting program to Perl is the MAX_FILE_SIZE is going to create
that much extra work for you.
