Calling another program

[BryanY]

I was wondering what the best way is to call a perl program from within another perl program.

I basically just want to execute it and test whether it was succesful or returned an error code.

@results=`perl script2.pl`;
foreach(@results) {
  print $_;
}

This is better than a system() call for your purposes because you wish to check the output
