[sf-perl] executing a batch command in a Perl program

[Michael Friedman]

If you want perl to execute it and then keep running try the system()  
call. If you want perl to terminate and transfer control to the batch  
program you use exec() instead.

If you want to communicate with your batch program from perl then you  
need to look into more complicated options...

Both are documented in perlfunc.
