open file for output????

[Porshe]

Hi! I have a script called find.pl that has a variable $source= 132.45.76.89;
($source changes with each foreach loop that I have).
I have another script called last.pl that needs to take $source from find.pl, do some stuff with it and give find.pl the results.
I'm thinking that I can open last.pl with a file handle and put the output in find.pl.

Help~ Thanks!

If you're trying to read last.pl from find.pl, use the require function:

require "last.pl";

If I understand what you want is to run a perl script with an argument and capture the output from the perl script. Here's one way to do that:

:in find.pl
$output = `last.pl $source`;
# Do whatever you want with $output from last.pl

:in last.pl
$src = $ARGV[0];
# Do something with $src
print "whatever you want to output to find.pl";
