Can you access "only" the URL of the second CGI script or oven the script itself (on the filesystem)?

In the first case, you should call that script using LWP::UserAgent within the body of the first script, and then parse the output of HTTP response.

In the latter case, you can call the second script using system functionlike this:
system "script2.cgi arg1=val1 arg2=val2 var3=val3"

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, you might also consider using more powerful tools like SOAP::Lite.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
