Calling a perl script from another perl script

Hi,
I am new to Perl programming. Let me explain my requirement over here. I have a Perl script located in /usr/sbin/ say script A and I want to invoke this script via web after accepting some user inputs.
What I am thinking is , I will write a perl script(script B) which will invoke my script A and I will post my HTML form to script B. I will be using tomcat as a web server.
Please guide me if this is going to work or let me know if there are any suggestions...
I am just doubtful that would script B be able to invoke scrip A which is located in /usr/sbin/ ?

Thanks
