Let me see if I've got this right: my CGI script will create a batch<br>
file ~/scripts/job1.sh containing the following<br>
<br>
#!/bin/bash<br>
/usr/bin/perl FooBar.pl --arg1=foo --arg2 bar<br>
<br>
and then submit a job using the 'qsub' command which will run my script, right?<br>

If you are adverse to using this, you could also use cups or any print server as a job submission queue. Any one that will run scripts as a backend anyway. Ive done this a few times in AIX. Sounds hokey, but quite effective. You can use cron to bring certain queues up and down at certain times - and just let the jobs pile up. My suggestion: use Torque.<br>
