Running Perl program using backquotesby nysus (Parson) |
on Apr 18, 2001 at 01:52 UTC ( [id://73362]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm trying to call "Program B.cgi" from "Program A.cgi". Program B expects input from the command line. I'm trying to get Program A to act like a command line call for Program B. I try the following line in Program A:
`perl Program B.cgi filetoprocess > outputfile`; However, when I throw in a switch to pass to Program B, like so:
`perl Program B.cgi -t filetoprocess > outputfile`; Can anyone please give me a clue?
