Hi sandeepbajjuri,
It seem to me you are looking for Perl function backtick written as
``
or qx. You might also want to look at Perl function system.
From within your perl script you just do like so:
system("generator.exe"); your code then runs as if you are on a CLI.
Do perldoc -f system for documntation on your system where perl is installed.
