Idea is good to turn one script as a module. But I can not do anyhow. What I want to achieve is:
There are two script. From first script I need to call the second program and in second program I want to receive the hash. I have complete hash in first program and calling second program by system call by passing hash reference as a parameter. If anyone has solution of this then please let me know.
