Re^5: how to create makefile?

No. ExtUtils::MakeMaker is for creating a Makefile for module installation.

If your process is not about module installation for Perl, ExtUtils::MakeMaker is the wrong tool.

Maybe now it's time for you to explain what the actual goal is and why you think that a Makefile is the appropriate tool.

well, as I said, the purpose was to run the script automatically and I got the idea from the makefile that is used for c programs in which we list all c programs, compile, create obj file and then, run the executable. but as I said, perhaps I wrongly made the analogy with the perl makefile.	[reply]

Unlike C, Perl uses "Just in Time" compiling. So you only need to: `perl pgm.pl perl pgm2.pl` [download] If you need to only run pgm2.pl when pgm.pl completes successfully, then in most shells: `perl pgm.pl && perl pgm2.pl` [download] will do that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
