Hello,

Im after some help with running one script from within another. Both are CGI files.

In thoery: The first determines if the program has been loaded from command line or web interface. It then gets all the information passed in as parameters and passes those to the second.

What i need to know is:
1) How to run the second script from calling it in the first. (with something like execute->BlastTool.cgi;)
2) Can i pass in all of these variables to the second, and if so do they have to be in reference form or other. 

my $blastSeq = "";      # holds the sequence

my $blast_filehandle = "";    # file handlers
my $ref_filehandle = "";

my $oldRefFile = "";     # old reference file path and name

my $species_filter = "";
my $chromo_filter = "";       # filters
my @species_filter;
my @chromo_filter;
my @advanced_filter;
my $state;    # determines the state of input

my $email;    ## has email variables been activated


my $show_all;           # show summary info check box
my $show_filter;        # show only filtered hits check box
           
# time stamp parameters
my $date;

my @OrigRef;              # arrays of the files
my @blastLine;

my @refsubjects;  # reference to empty array
my $refalignment = {};       # builds alignments from reference file


my @refelements;        # stores the split GI line from reference line
my @blast_elements;     # stores the split GI line from new blast line

my %refList;# holds the accessions from the GI line in ref file
my %blastList; # holds the accessions from the GI line in blast file

my $boolean;   # determines the array to use for the output
my @subjects;  # stores the whole GI line from blast file

my $alignment = {};    # holds alignments from blast file
