Hello,
I would like to run a perl script inside a perl script. I know how to do so with brackets but I don't want to hardcode the path to the other script.
For example I have p1 script and p2 script. I want to run p2 in p1. Assume that $path_to_p2 is the path to the p2 script.
Until now I did it like this: `$path_to_p2` and it works but, I had to define $path_to_p2 in the file (hardcode) and it's a bad practice.
Full Code Example:

my $path_to_p2 = "~/path/to/p2.pl"; # BAD because if the path changed, it won't work.
my output = `$path_to_p2"`;

If p1 and p2 are in the same folder, can I use FindBin module in order to find p2 and run it somehow?
