Re^2: do script2.pl with parms

Add a (scope-limiting) block and local to that and @ARGV won't be damaged in script 1:

# in script 1
{
    local @ARGV=(...);
    do('script2');
}

But this is just an awful kludge.

tel2, move (most of) the code of script 2 into a module. use that module in script 2 to get the existing behaviour. use that module also in script 1 to get the functions you need.

A sometimes used technique is to use caller to distinguish between command line invocation as a script and use as a module: `package DualUseScript; ... return 1 if caller; # script "main" code` [download] True laziness is hard work	[reply] [d/l]
