Opening programs with perl...

[mjg2004]

So I am new to using Perl, and I am trying to create a Perl program to open a previous Perl program (one I already created) with Perl. what does the script look like/ or what are the commands I have to use for this operation? I am doing this on my PC using windows 2003. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Let me get this right, you want to run a Perl script from another Perl script? Is the calling Perl script going to do more than just the script call? If so, you can do:

system("/script/to/run");
 

If you look up the system() function on Perldoc, you will get a more definitive description.

Sorry I was a little unclear on what I am doing, actually (I am very unclear on Perl alone lol) but anyways... I created a Perl script "hello world" named hello.plx it is located in C:\Perl\Perl Programs, now what I am looking to do is create another Perl script to open my hello.plx script....so would that line of code you provided still be correct?

Thanks,

Yes, it would still be correct, but again, verify the syntax on Perldoc.

What is the extension "plx" from? Normally you use a '.pl' extension for Perl scripts.
