How can I call one Perl script from another?

If you would like to make a call to, or reference, a Perl script from within a different Perl script, you can accomplish this a system(), exec() or the backtick operator to the path for Perl. For example:

system("/usr/bin/perl /path/to/my_script.pl ");

Or store output to array:

@myarray = `/usr/bin/perl mysecondperlscript.pl`;
