Execute another perl script from my perl script

[Petterson Mikael]

Hi,

I have a perl script where I want to call another perl script.
The perl script I want to call is ( including files):

${arc_bin}/addproj -p $project -r $release -i $isit -V $view

I have tried eval() that I used in my shell script but it did not work.

Any hints?

"did not work" is a poor error description. Please read the posting
guidelines that are posted to this group regularly.

Any hints?

There are a number of ways of executing external commands. Among them
are:
system (read: perldoc -f system)
exec (read: perldoc -f exec)
backticks (read: perldoc perlop, search for 'qx')
pipes (read: perldoc -f open)

Which one you want to use depends on what kind of information you want
to retrieve from the command, and how you want to interact with the
command.
