Hi all - Newbie here. I have written 4 perl scripts and am combining them in a main executed perl script. Do you think this is ok? 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

do '1-search_user.pl';
do '2-prepare_2update_user.pl';
do '3-backup.pl';
do '4-run_update.pl';

The above works but
Q1. how do I make sure when there is an error in any of the scripts it will exit the entire program?
Q2. Does the above really executes it sequentially? To me I think so.
Q3. I plan to put it in a cron job to only execute the above called "0-main_prog.pl", do you think there would be any issues?

Please advice
