I have a script to call the other script.

hello.pl

Code:
:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

print("Hello " . $ARGV[0] . "\n\n");

test_hello.pl

Code:
:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$script='hello.pl';
system("$script Dave");
How can I make this possible to work for both in UNIX & Windows?
 
usually windows uses a different shebang line than Unix. Depending on how windows is setup and which version of windows, a shebang line might not even be necessary.
 
Even those two scripts don't work in Unix either.
 
try like this:

$script = 'perl hello.pl';
system("$script Dave");
 
Unless its a typo, the shebang is supposed to be on the very first line, not?

For windows you need a file association set up for .pl The shebang is ignored.
