You can use any of the following ways:

system("C:\\mybatch.bat");

OR

system("start C:\\mybatch.bat"); ## this will open a new command window

OR

exec("C:\\mybatch.bat");

OR

`C:\\mybatch.bat`;  # using backticks(reverse quotes)

If you want to capture the output, assign it to a variable. For ex:

@res=`C:\\mybatch.bat`;
