G'day sumandas,

You posted this in "Perl Monks Discussion" which was the wrong place. I've moved it here, "Seekers of Perl Wisdom", which is the right place. The top of each section has an explanation of what's appropriate to post in that section: please check this before posting. Full details of what to post where can be found in "PerlMonks Sections".

Regarding your question, here's some things to check:

• After my $configfile=$ARGV[0];, add print "$configfile\n"; — does this print the value that you expected $ARGV[0] to have?
• From your command line does 'path of script in linux/perl' script2.pl whatever correctly pass whatever to script2.pl?
• Assuming you've written "path of script in linux" purely as a placeholder, is "script" just a typo or did you really mean "perl", i.e. "path of perl in linux"?
