Don't "call" other cgi's from a cgi ... whatever you mean by "call"

using system or exec to call other cgis is a fudgy idea,

fudgy , unless you're clever enough to write your cgis to take @ARGs, but then if you did that you wouldn't call them cgis :) and you'd be clever enough to use Capture::Tiny to capture anything your cgi prints on STDERR or STDOUT

but if you wrote both programs, and the second is really just a part of the first, then yeah, it shouldn't exist, it should be part of your module ... yeah, your real cgi should be 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
...
use MyModule;
MyModuule::DoTheCgiDance();

If you still need the "other" then you can have that one too

#!/usr/bin/perl --
...
use MyModule;
MyModuule::DoTheCgiDanceOTHER();
