Execute A Script From Within A Script

I am a newbie to programing in PERL. I have used tons of PERL progs. But I am new to actually writing...

My question is can you call another perl/cgi script from within another seperate script. The script I am creating when arange and prepare parameters for the script I want to call. Any help is appreciated.

Yes.

If the other perl script is on the same server, simply do something like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

$output = system("perl /full/path/to/other/script.pl");

print "Content-type: text/htmlnn";
print "$output";

If it's on another server somewhere, start here -> http://www.devshed.com/Talk/Forums/Forum6/HTML/000387.html

I've not tried it, but I thought the system() method didn't return anything to a variable. I know that this would:
$variable=`perl /path/to/script.pl`;
