Executing Shell Commands

I am newbie in Perl pragramming!
I want to write a perl script to execute several linux command like
------------------------
cd cds
source .bash
csh
source .asic
icf
------------------------
at that time when I start to run an application in linux, I have to type these commands, it take time!
I want to make a perl script to run only instead of typing many commands above.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks,

Hi. Can't you create a shell script with all your commands and run it from anywhere .

if you insist on perl use the system function:

System

I'm with Prakash and Kevin on this one. There is absolutely no reason why you should be trying to do this in perl instead of just using a shell script. That's what they're for.

I'm not even sure it's possible to get the sourcing of files to work correctly via the system command. I would therefore suggest that you simply create a shell script unless you can explain to us a reason why you truly need perl in this instance.
