Pel script within perl script

[palette]

Hi,

I want a perl script that periodically can call other perl scripts.

Can this be acheived thru any CPAN module.

If only periodic call is the priority
In case you are using unix based OS, you can check for crontab command, that will be a better approach. You can set up crontab and the cron daemon will run your perl programs at periodic intervals.

As has been suggested in response to a number of recent similar SoPW nodes, have you considered Schedule::Cron ??

Instead of using module you can use sleep function like in the below code.

   a.pl
   -----
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    print "hello\n";
   
    b.pl
   ----
      use strict;
      use warnings;
      while(1)
      {
          system("perl ./a.pl");
          sleep(1)
      }

Each and every 1 second a.pl code will get call. We can also use alarm signal for achieve this. After alarm signal is occur we can call the appropriate perl script. Then we can re-assign the alarm.

hi, Through perl system command you can able to execute a perl script with in a perl programming. eg:

print `perl perlfilename.pl`;
(or)
system("perl perlfilename.pl");
