Execute a CGI script through PHP
How can I execute a CGI script through PHP? PHP doesn't like this at all:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/poll/fantasycricket.pl" -->

SSI directives do not work on CGI outputed pages. I would assume however, that PHP has a function that allows you to execute a program and display it's STDOUT.
