Hi, you could wrap system() and chdir().

sub do_exec {
   my ($cmd, $args) = @_;
   system("$cmd $args") == 0
      or die "Command '$cmd' failed: $!";
}

sub do_chdir {
   my ($dir) = @_;
   chdir $dir or die "Couldn't change dir to '$dir': $!";
}

sub run {
   do_exec('foo', '--bar baz');
   do_chdir('foobar');
   do_exec('foo', '--bar baz2');
   do_exec('foo2', '--bar baz');
   do_chdir('..');
   do_exec('bar', '--foo baz');
}

run();

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