5. Hi, I am calling 1.pl from main.pl file.
   using
   #main.pl
   system (“perl 1.pl”);

   In this case it works fine. But when I am doing

   #main.pl
   system (“perl 1.pl”);
   system (“perl 2.pl”);

   then it doesn’t executes “1.pl” properly.
   So I would like to know, is there any constraint for this? Do I need to take any precautions for this?

   Thanks,

    use CGI;
    use Switch;
    print qq'
    
    
    
    Field Name : 
                
                
    
    
    ';
