Hi, I have a number of perl scripts that execute from the crontab.
I want to write a test script that executes the perl files.
After executing each perl files I have to validate the database. So I have to add the test case for those validation.
Now I have to execute the next perl script in the same test script and validate that as well.
So it's sequential execution of some process scripts that I have to validate. But after each process script I will be doing some validation.
How can I do this in perl.
Does 'require' works fine for this.

example 1.pl
print "1";

2.pl
print "2";


test.t
require "1.pl"
ok("1","test 1");
require "2.pl";
ok("2","test 2");
Pls note I want require 1.pl to execute, complete the validation and then the require 2.pl should execute.
