Why do you run the program outside the directory?It is just a series of code and I bet you want all your code to be executed!
Put it in the same directory and then run a shell script.

shell_exec() should work.

Yours doesn't because, CD is a command and MAKE is a command.

did you try this

shell_exec("/home/data/test/make.pl");

i bet shell_exec() should solve the purpose
