[Kc] Executing third party tools using CGI/Perl

[user perl]

Thanks for the reply. However I've installed the svm_classify in the same
'cgi-bin' directory. I'm enclosing my code snippet as below. I'd appreciate
if you could suggest me how to modify the line to execute svm_classify.

system "svm_classify input-file model-file output-file";

Thanks,
MP.
