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).
