system("file.pl");

What do you expect file.pl to do when called that it doesn't seem to do? Do you want control to return to your calling script after the file.pl finishes or just to terminate, or to call another script? Since what someone told you about system didn't work, have you had a look at perldoc -f system?

Hi, thanks for your input. I discovered that the file i wanted to call had a typo which is why is wasnt working.
