Hi folks. I've got a need to fire off a background perl script from PHP in apache. I've got as part of my web site a page used to upload and process data from 3rd parties, most of which I can process within the script iteself. However, I now have to upload an excel spreadsheet in xml format that is approx 11MB in size and using it to do quite a bit of SQL work. The idea is that I write the code in perl and then after PHP has completed the file upload, call the perl in the background passing the filename. Has anyone got any advice or gochas I should know about?
