In your first link the best suggestion was
from chromatic. Instead of thinking in terms of executing
an external script, think in terms of calling a function.
Both are methods of executing arbitrary code, but the
advantage of a function is that it also has notions of how
to pass arguments.
The alternative is to use global variables to do your
communication. Global variables to communicate between
a mass of scripts that call each other haphazardly is a
short road to insanity. While it is the answer that you
asked for, I strongly recommend not doing that. Write
a module if you want your files to actually do something.
You may not have written a module before. If you
haven't, it isn't as hard
as people make it look. Take a look at Re (tilly) 1: Best way to fix a broken but functional program? for
a random instance. Just save that template to a file whose
name ends in ".pm", write a test script that uses it,
then start adding, running, and testing. That template
should serve you pretty well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
