`perl /home/com/begp/test_script.pl` $f || die "Error!";

[download]

You need to change that to - 

 
`perl /home/com/begp/test_script.pl $f`  || die "Error!";  
# Note the $f position before the backtick.

Also, your  || die is tricky. If your test_script.pl returns a zero then it will die. backticks return something so use it. Also consider using system and check for the return on the system call.

An example of the return problem - 

 
[sk] % cat prifile
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print @ARGV; # print whatever is sent.


[sk] % cat callprifile

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my @files = glob ('*');

push (@files, "0"); # adding a zero as the last element in this array 
+to demonstrate return issue

foreach $f (@files) {
        `prifile $f` || die "something went wrong with $f\n";
}

[sk] % callprifile
something went wrong with 0
