I can't make much sense of your question, so I can just link you to some builtins and modules that might help you: qx, system, IPC::Run, do, require, $^X. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

"also same in background" Use the system command or backticks and append a & to the end of the command if you are in the *nix world. In the windows world start your command with "START" and end it with "/B"	[reply]

Your question is rather ambiguous. Perhaps you mean `require`? Otherwise... when you “execute a script \| program,” no matter how exactly you do it (see above), it usually does not matter what programming language that script \| program was written in. The OS simply forks a shell to run the command, resolving the command in whatever is that OS’s usual way. Unfortunately, your comment about “in the background” can also mean one of several different things.

Is this what you want? use strict; use warnings; # if the perl script takes input and output strings as arguments my $perl_script = "perl script_to_execute input output"; # print to see what is being executed print "$perl_script\n" my $script_exe = `$perl_script`; # To check for errors print "$script_exe\n"; [download] OR directly : my $script_exe = `perl perl_script_to_run input output`; [download] NOTE: untested UPDATE As Ratazong suggests, you can also try: `my $cmd = "perl script_to_execute input output"; print STDERR "$cmd\n"; system($cmd);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
