I think that refers to the question mark in line one of 
plant1.php. There is also an error mentioned for line three. The 
.php program itself has been located and something is attempting 
to deal with it.

I believe you can run commands like dir and xx.exe via system(). 
But can you run xxx.php? If not, how is it done?

An experiment: system('dir');
This shows me the working directory is correct.

I don't understand.

If by fully qualify, you mean:
system('http://calscape.com/Raja99/plant1.php');
system('/Raja99/plant1.php');
system('/home6/calscape/Raja99/plant1.php');

These are worse. The error is in Perl saying it can't find the file.
