if you are executing the external script by backticks then just capture the output into a variable, and print that variable.
system() does not return the external programs output, just it's exit code
exec() does the same as system, and never returns
use backticks.

       hobbitcgi.cfg - Command-line parameters for the Xymon CGI tools

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbitcgi.cfg(1) controls the commandline options passed to all of the Xymon CGI tools through their respective shell-script wrappers. Typ-
       ically the options listed here are used for system-wide configuration of the CGI utilities, e.g. to define where  they  read  configuration
       files.

       The exact set of commandline options available are described in the man-page for each of the CGI utilities.

       The file is "sourced" into the shell script wrapper, so assignments to the CGI-specific variables must follow standard shell-script syntax.
