This is more of a generl perl question, but i'm useing it in a ipn script so I figured it was ok to post here :) What i'm doing is creating a ftp account after reciving payment. I'm useing pure-ftpd. this comes with a command to create accounts pure-pw. i'm running it in my script by doing $output = `pure-pw -u blah`; my problem is, when doing this command from a termenal, it then asks twice for the password. Password can not be passed via command line. so how do I "type" this in from my cgi script?
