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
