Hi, I have a number of perl scripts that execute from the crontab.
I want to write a test script that executes the perl files.
After executing each perl files I have to validate the database. So I have to add the test case for those validation.
Now I have to execute the next perl script in the same test script and validate that as well.
So it's sequential execution of some process scripts that I have to validate. But after each process script I will be doing some validation.
How can I do this in perl.
Does 'require' works fine for this.

example 1.pl
print "1";

2.pl
print "2";


test.t
require "1.pl"
ok("1","test 1");
require "2.pl";
ok("2","test 2");
Pls note I want require 1.pl to execute, complete the validation and then the require 2.pl should execute.

• 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).
