Re^2: Call one Perl Script from another

That sounds very much like you're trying to execute an RTF file. Are you editing your code in Wordpad? You should make sure that you save the code as plain text. I recommend getting a real programmers editor like emacs or vi.

Hey !!! Thanks a ton!!! With notepad , I could finally call the other script!! Thanks again for helping , Cheers Bucchi And the lesson to be learnt here is that before investigating on supposed problems with `a.pl` calling `b.pl`, one would better make sure that `b.pl` works fine in the first place. Again, there may better strategies than resorting to system, from using do to making the called script into a real module. But this is probably stuff better fit for another thread...
