iptables & httpd

Has anyone setup any type of perl script for web configuration of iptables. Everything I try errors out, I think its a permission thing but when I run the scripts by command line with the -c option it states the sintax is ok.

If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Larry

What exactly are you wanting to do, or what doesn't work?

I was trying to execute a command from a perl script, like

system ("/sbin/iptables -F FORWARD)";

somthing like that. I would like to run a few other things but thats the main problem I'm having.

Thanks

Sorry the command should be:

system ("/sbin/iptables -F FORWARD");

not

system ("/sbin/iptables -F FORWARD)";

Thanks
