Looking to pass variables to another perl script

[matterhorn2001]

Hello,
I am looking to take variables and pass them to another perl script. However, the script that I am looking to pass the variables into does not accept any command line arguments. I am hoping to be able to open the script and then pass the variables in as needed.

Any help would be great. At this point I have looked into the open() command but not sure if this will accomplish what I am looking to do. Any ideas?

Please let me know if any clarification is needed. Thanks in advance!!!

open() might work. Write the stuff you want to import to the script to a file, then open the file and read the data into the script.

You could also set environment variables and access them from the perl script. Probably less of a hassle than using file-based variable approach

you could also use storable.pm to serialize any data structures you may wish to pass
