perldoc -f system or perldoc -f exec or use of backtick stuff $script_result=`/<path>/bin/perl script.pl arg1 arg2 `; HTH, José. "Leon, Yanet I,,DMDCWEST" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : How do I invoke a perl program from within another perl program? I don't need to use a module or create one for this purpose. I have a simple script which performs a replacement:
substitute.pl #!/pkg/public/bin/perl -pi.bak This edits a file and creates a backup of the edited. This is why I want to keep it separate, so other users may call it to make the replacement when needed. s/^\#(shell\s.*tcp\s.*\sin.rshd)$/$1/; I want to call the above script from another longer one to just perform the replacement passing a file name as the argument. The lines on the calling file should look as follows: : Some other steps. : #Editing myfile lines $myfile="/scratch/scripts/filetoedit"; I must call the substitute script here passing $myfile as argument. Please, give me some advice to perform this operation.
