Thre ways... exec('make'); system('make'); `make`;
The three differ slightly, you might want to check the docs. Breifly... exec - executes the command, but your Perl program ends where it is. system - executes the command, waits for it to finish, returns the return code. `` (backticks) - executes the command, waits for it to finish, returns the output (STDOUT, not STDERR).
