Nope :) exec() will replace your running perl interpreter with the program
you're running, so that wouldn't have the effect you wanted.
If you want to run the commands one after the other, use system() instead,
just make sure that the input isn't actually going to do anything crazy (like
rm -rf /).
Optionally, you can use exec() but then you'll have to fork() first, and the
child exec()'s the command.
