There are basically three ways to call an external program from Perl.
system()--
Launches the program given as a parameter and returns the exit code.
`` (backticks) --
Launches the program inside the backticks and returns the output.
exec()--
Launches the program given as a parameter and exits.
E.g
==========
if($code = system("c:\\winnt\\system32\\program.exe")){
print "something must have gone wrong. The exit code was $code.";
}
@output = `c:\\winnt\\system32\\program.exe`;
print @output;
