How do I invoke a perl program from within another perl program? I don't need to use a module or create one for this purpose. I have a simple script which performs a replacement:
substitute.pl #!/pkg/public/bin/perl -pi.bak This edits a file and creates a backup of the edited. This is why I want to keep it separate, so other users may call it to make the replacement when needed. s/^\#(shell\s.*tcp\s.*\sin.rshd)$/$1/; I want to call the above script from another longer one to just perform the replacement passing a file name as the argument. The lines on the calling file should look as follows: : Some other steps. : #Editing myfile lines $myfile="/scratch/scripts/filetoedit"; I must call the substitute script here passing $myfile as argument. Please, give me some advice to perform this operation. Regards, Yanet -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
