Break down your task into small pieces and solve for those pieces. The first piece I can see is running an Expect script from a perl program. Do you know how to do that?
I have no idea what Expect is, but searching for 'expect' and 'perl' in Google revealed a perl module for expect.
The other pieces of your problem might include getting form values from an HTML form. CGI.pm can help with that.

Yes I have a perl script running inside of the expect script, which works fine. I need to find a way to call the expect script and output the perl
What perl?
to the html page that is calling it. I found a version of expect for perl, but it didn't seem to be able to get the results that I was looking for, being able to telnet into a terminal and offer up passwords and such. then run another perl script that was picked as an option.

Hello Helen. First, you're confusing me; please don't top-post, and "[Bulk] RE:" should not have been added to the subject line; tame your mail-reader.
Second, Expect.pm can do telnet:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Expect;
my $exp = Expect->spawn(telnet => qw(localhost 80))
or die ("Spawn failed: $!\n");
my $data = '';
my $tosend = q{GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Connection: close
};
$exp->expect(4,
[ '^Escape char' => sub {
$exp->send($tosend);
}],
);
$exp->expect(4,
[ '^HTTP/1.1' => sub {
$data = $exp->match . $exp->after;
}],
);
$exp->soft_close;
print "----------------------------------\n";
print $data;
__END__
On my system, the output from my local web-server appears.
HTH
