in thread new shell - perl

some 1 has written a script(say GCC.pl) which sets up few setenv's and creates a new shell and exists the scripts. now the setenv's are accessible, the another script access those setenv's to run. I want to automate it, so that i don't have to run the first script and then the second i want to add both of them in one.

    That looks like a very different question ;-)

    You can just exec 'script2'; At the end of the first script.

      i did tried that but after executing the statement which creates a new shell, the script exits and i get a prompt.

        You don't have to create a new shell in the script that changes the environment: 
        # File foo.pl:
$ENV{FOO} = 'bar';
exec 'perl', 'bar.pl';

# File bar.pl:
print $ENV{FOO}, $/;

# launch it:
$ perl foo.pl
bar
