Re: running a perl file from within a perl file

[brap]

in reply to running a perl file from within a perl file

# 813119.pl:
my @args=(0);
my $ filename = "ABC.pl";
@args = ("$filename com1@115200 65");
system(@args) == 0 or die "system @args failed: $?";

# ABC.pl:
print join( ' / ', @ARGV), "\n";

Mostly works for me. ABC.pl gets called, and displays

com1 / 65

I'd recommend quoting the '@' character in your @args assignment, as in:

@args = ("$filename com1\@115200 65");

Which changes the output to

com1@115200 / 65

What output are you seeing? Which version of perl (perl -V)?

Hey thanks, for the reply I got it to work.
