in reply to Sourcing another Scripts using perl script

system runs /bin/sh, which does not understand source. Use . (dot) instead.

To check the succes of a system command, compare its return value to zero: 

if (0 == system 'ls') {
    print "Success\n";
} else {
    print "Error\n";
}

To call a Perl script from a Perl script, you can also use do.

    Hello! Thanks for your guidance , Actually this ini file will set some environment variables when i sourec it . Executing my ini file will not solve the problem, I used the dot run "./my.ini" it just executes the commands inside the ini file , . I want to use "Source my.ini", Can i do that with perl ?

      By using . instead of source, I meant 
      . my.ini

      not ./my.ini.
