You can write a shell script and just call that from cgi-bin. No need to do it through a pl/sql call because then you need to invoke exp from pl/sql as an external call. That means you need either a DBMS_PIPE, java or external library.

Also - beware that the exp might take some time to run, so you might want to run it async rather than sync. DBMS_PIPE is async.

If you call it from a shell script, you can run:
'at now exp...'
Obviously you get a response back from the web page before the job is done, so you can't get errors from the exp. If you execute it synchronusly, you can.
