Calling a perl script from another.

Back ground:
===========

I know these approaches:
a) system("perl <script_to_be_called>.pl");
b) Also I know that it can be called by uisng `` operators.

Issue:
======

But can anybody suggest as as how to call a script that takes an argument too?

Ex: system("perl ff_evaluate($File)");

Think I need to know the syntax here.

Thankz in advance.

Hi all...

I could fix this issue by using this syntax:
system("perl", "ff_evaluate", "$File");

Thankz for looking.
