There are a lot of ways to communicate between two perl scripts somehow, but I expect none of them works the way you expect it.

You can't magically share variables between two unrelated perl interpreters. But you have some other possibilities:

• Use some way of interprocess communication to exchange the values
  • Write the calculated values somewhere on the disk and read them in the second script
  • Use sockts to communicate
  • Use shared memorie or somesuch
• Why use seperate scripts for everything? Use one script that does it all
  • Probably seperate the code in modules so you can still have those small scripts doing exactly one task without duplicating code
  • That way it's easily possible to use the results of the first calculation in the later code as you're inside the same perl interpreter and can pass everything around

Probably not exactly what you were looking for, but I hope it helps.

Cheers, Flo
