[webmin-devel] Use of external binary from module

Hi,

  First I know this is a no-no in the documentation and I can understand
why.

  However for a custom module in a controlled environment, I need to call an
external an external application, grab the output in an array and crunch the
data to then display it.

  I tried the following:
	@raw_data=`./usr/local/bin/ipmitool sel list`;

  But I get the following error:
	Error - Missing Content-Type Header
	/usr/local/webmin/sel/index.cgi: line 1: ./usr/local/bin/ipmitool:
No such file or directory
	/usr/local/webmin/sel/index.cgi: line 4: @raw_data=: command not
found

  However if I run the same index.cgi from the command like (perl index.cgi)
the external application is executed, output is in the array and I can
crunch it.

  Any pointers for me?
