It doesn't work this way. In the master script you define your variables, however you run another perl script via system. It knows nothing about the variables in the master script. Consider the following example: master.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $secret = 'BruceWayneisBatman';

my @cmd = ('perl', 'child.pl', $secret);
system(@cmd) == 0 or die "system @cmd failed: $?";

child.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $message = $ARGV[0];

print "The master script passed: $message\n";

Again see system.
