system() should use the shell.

Maybe check out

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Perl/Reference/Products/ActivePerl/site/lib
/Win32/Process.html although that still seems to take a single argument as

It would be nice if swish could read commands from a file.  Some day.  CGI
scripts would need to create unique files, of course, when calling swish.
I assume that's possible.



Running a Linux web server is so much easier, and cheaper.   Then there's
security.... but I won't go down that path today ;)
