Good point. You are correct, Script1 and Script2 are separate processes. At the completion of Script1, I have a mini Bash script (cd <into directory>, ./script2.pl) which executes Perl Script2. I need Script2 to recognize the $final variable defined from Script1. Is this possible? $final will be given a name, such as "Basketball". So I need Script1 to attain the variable (from user input). Then once Script2 is executed, which is completely separate from Script1, it will be able to use the given variable of "Basketball" and continue with the actions of Script2.
