invoking perl from perl

[noyk]

Hi everyone.

I have a perl program that is invoked by the command

match.pl A B

the problem is that there is a few hundred combination of A and B that is possible

so, i am thinking of writing a new program with a small loop that generate the command to invoke the match.pl

so, how do I do this? i.e. invoking perl from a second program?

Hi

so, how do I do this? i.e. invoking perl from a second program?

If the "second program" is another [tt]perl[/tt] script, see the [tt]system[/tt] and [tt]exec[/tt] function and the [tt]``[/tt] ( backtick ) operator. Otherwise see the documentation of the "second program"s programming language.

( Note that running a [tt]perl[/tt] script from another [tt]perl[/tt] script usually is not the suggested way. )
