Executing External Program

[maestomani]

Hi There,

How to execute series of unix command in perl program exec --> only the first command and end the program. It will be more useful you tell me how to pass extra arguments in the command.

This sounds suspiciously like a homework question you are supposed to figure out. What you want to do is read up on system() command. If you know how to run the script you want, that that will do it.

One problem with exec() though, is that is needs to be used in a forked process, otherwise, any Perl code following it is useless and will not get executed.
