I am trying to call PERL script via PHP (system) and system is failing to pass variables correctly. Here's kind of what I've done:

<?PHP
$data=$_POST;
$cmd="/usr/bin/perl /local/get.pl \"$data[url]\" \"$data[subject]\" > /dev/null @";
system("$cmd");
?>

PERL file is in right directory and PHP is called by form post method.

Please offer suggestions - THANKS!

which part the variable didn't pass thru? the PHP to shell, or the Perl part?
