Assuming you have worked out the details with sudo ahead of time (aka not having to
enter a password, etc.), then:
system('sudo','-u','www',"/path/to/anotherscript.pl $username $lastname");
Should work, and 'anotherscript.pl' will have to expect the arguments in ARGV[0,1].
If anotherscript.pl is and *must* be a cgi script, then you really have two options,
develop it in such a way that it expects parameters in ARGV, which I believe CGI
module will handle, or you can call a third party provider, like lynx, curl, etc. to
call the script over HTTP but this gets harry and would seemingly lose your sudo
privileges.....
