Access external service from DCT

Hi

I am using TS 6.5 SP2 environment for Teamsite.

I am having a scenero in which I need to call an external service to fetch some data through a fetch button in DCR. More expalnation follows

I am having a fetch button on my DCR . On click of this button I have to call a external web service which will return a XML to me.

Now I have written a perl script which is called on the click of the fetch button through this I am trying to call the external service, but I am not able to do so. The error message I am getting is 'cannot connect to the site(bad host name).
To my surprise when I try to run the same script from cmd prompt it works perfectly fine.

Please advice what might be the issue??
IS this thing possible?

Thanks
Manuj

Without seeing the script you are using and any environment details it is impossible to help. To answer your last question, yes this is a common requirement that is implemented in TS templates.

Are you planning to parse the XML file to get the data?
