Spooky has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Spooky here (again), I'm currently running Perl script and need to call a SAS program and pass parameters into the SAS code. What's the best way to do this from Perl? .thanks!

    need to call a SAS program and pass parameters into the SAS code

    If the parameters need to be passed as normal command line arguments, that would simply be something like 

    system "your-SAS-program", @parameters;

    (@parameters would contain the individual parameters, of course)

    How would you call the program outside of Perl?  Knowing that would help us to give more specific advice.

    Unless tied to the command line, what about SAS Modules?

    Update: Never mind. The linked module is just a parser. It doesn't appear to interact with the back end.
