PROG2.pl does either:
output = `PROG1.pl`; # `PROG1.pl 2>&1` most likely on Unix systems
or
retcode = system 'PROG1.pl';
More details available by typing
perldoc -f system
and
perldoc perlop
and scrolling down to the section "Regexp Quote-Like Operators" and looking
for the paragraph headed by 'qx/STRING'.
