Is it possible to make cgi/perl-calls from geeklog?

Of course (that's actually a PHP question ...).
Something like
function phpblock_perloutput() {
$result = `/path/to/your/perl/script.pl`;
return $result;
}
could be used to get the output of a Perl script into a PHP block in Geeklog (note the use of the backquotes ` which are not to be confused with the single quotes ').

Is there any other way for adding cgi-scripts with geeklog? Like after a search-form written in perl - I don't want to see the result in a new window. Can I make a call that keeps the result in geeklog?
(My english is not so good but I hope you know what I mean 
)

Actually, I'm not sure if I understand what you're after ...
If you want to wrap the output of a Perl (or whatever) script into Geeklog (i.e. have the header, footer, and blocks of Geeklog but the output of the script in the middle of the screen) then that can be easily accomplished:
require_once('lib-common.php');
$display = COM_siteHeader('menu');
$display .= COM_startBlock("My CGI Output";
$display .= `/path/to/your/perl/script.pl`;
$display .= COM_endBlock();
$display .= COM_siteFooter();
echo $display;
Put that in a .php file (and don't forget to add the opening and closing PHP tags).
Is that what you're after?
