my simple code is here, very appreciated for your help.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

BEGIN { push @INC, "/usr/share/perl5"; }
BEGIN { push @INC, "/usr/share/perl5/CGI"; }

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use CGI qw(:standard);

# new CGI form
my $q1 = new CGI;
my @backendCmd;

my @getCmd;
my @getLevel;
my $gpioLevel = 0;

############################

# read from panel
@getCmd = `cd /opt/ultra/; showdata data/ACMClearanceDB.dbf 101 1 1`;
chomp($getCmd[0]);

@getLevel = split(/ {1,}/, $getCmd[0]);
$gpioLevel = $getLevel[0];

############################
print $q1->header();
print $q1->start_html(-title => 'why');

############################
print $q1->h4("---------------------------");
print $q1->h4($gpioLevel);
print $q1->h4("---------------------------");

print $q1->end_html;

exit 0;

if you run
cd /opt/ultra/; showdata data/ACMClearanceDB.dbf 101 1 1

from command line, it gives you 5 digits, e.g.
1 2 3 4 5

If you view at the page source from your browser, what do you see then?

it's missing that 1,
<h4>---------------------------</h4><h4></h4><h4>---------------------------</h4>

very confusing.

This means that $gpioLevel is the empty string ('') in the error case .....

I fear you have to bite the bullet and debug, how this variable gets its value. My guess is that @getCmd doesn't contain what you expect (maybe it has one extra line in the beginning?), so I would first dump this variable:

Code
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper); 
 
.... 
print $q1->h4(Dumper(\@getCmd));

... and that's why you have to debug it via the browser.

The most likely problem is that the user that the web server is running under does not have rights to access or execute showdata.

Did you check the web server error log for any clues?
