Hello Monks,

Need your help again. Is it possible to launch dynamically generated perl statements from within a script, which reference the variables of the parent script? In other words, execute the generated statements without invoking another copy of the interpreter.

For example:

I have the parent script as following:

#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
# Example of launching a perl script from within another script
my $v1="Hello";
my $v2="There";

# I do know that the following statement will not produce the desired 
+result.
system ("perl launch_child.pl");

Dynamically generated child script, launch_child.pl looks like this:

print "$v1\n";
print "$v2\n";

Thanks.

Ash
