you can do
my $dir = "c:\\test\\script";
system("perl $dir\\xyz.pl arg1 arg2");
If in case inside xyz.pl you are accessing some other files , just make
sure you give the full path.
but consider using do() instead of system(). Because when you use
system() you create a new instance of perl in the memory which is
totally unnecessary.
