[HRPM] quick question

[Troy E. Webster]

Hey what's the most painless way to launch a seperate perl script from
inside another? I need to pass the seperate script one scalar. PS I'm
not using oop here. 

I also need to launch a C program from within. Is it done the same way? 

My first thought was to just use system, as in:

 @args = ("command","arg1","arg2");
    system(@args) == 0
	 or die "system @args failed: $?"

Am I thinking about this the right way?

Any thoughts are appreciated. 

Thanks,
Troy
