What are you trying to do? One CGI script calling another through an exec() is pretty odd.

Is this something that you can do with an internal redirect? The first script outputs a redirection header with a relative path. The server picks that up and handles the rest for you and it only looks like one request to the client.

use CGI;

my $cgi = CGI->new;

$cgi->redirect( "/filename.cgi?action=task1" );

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
