Running a Perl script from another Perl script

Hi all,

I have two scripts:

1/ parser.pl which parses a text file and stuffs the relevant data into a
mySQL DB - works fine no probs there

2/ importer.pl which I want to run through all the relevant files in a
directory and run them through parser.pl

I've got importer.pl to the stage where it can run through a directory and
select the correct files to be processed, but I'm not sure how to pass each
file over to parser.pl. I also need it to wait until parser.pl has finished
processing a file before it passes it another file to process.

I've read the fantastic Perl Cookbook but

ly it's leaving me more

than enlightened on this particular issue. :(

Cheers,

Bob
