Depends on what you mean by launch. I believe you probably want
either the system function or the qx// operator (aka backticks). If
you want the Perl program to keep running while the "launched" program
runs (instead of waiting for it to finish) you should fork and use
exec to "launch" it (this is effectively what system does, but system
waits for the "launched" program to finish with wait before
returning).
perldoc -f system
perldoc perlop
perldoc -f fork
perldoc -f exec
perldoc -f wait
And also:
perldoc perlipc
perldoc -f qx
perldoc -f open
perldoc -f close
perldoc perlopentut
