For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Calling a perl script from another perl script

Posted by pragatid (pragatid), 9 July 2007
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
-Pragati

You can invoke one perl script from within another in exactly the same way that you can invoke any other application (or any operating system command, come to that!).  This may leave the two scripts rather loosley coupled, though, so you may prefer to look at require and include statements.
