Hi, I have just started using MacPerl. I have written three longish scripts for generating web pages for an HTML database from a tab delimited text file (from an Excel spreadsheet). Right now I can generate the web pages from BBEdit by "running" three files in succession, one after the other. For your curiosity the files are named "createNameList.pl", "createAddrPages.pl", "createNamePages.pl". I would like to have a single, small file, "createDB.pl", that would set a couple of essential parameters - the location of original text file and the path to the web page directory where the constructed web pages will be stored - and then "run" the three files above in succession. I can't figure out how to this. I'd like to write something like run $filehandle1; run $filehandle2; run $filehandle3; but I can't figure out the correct command. Also, whatever I do, I will ultimately have to port it to a PC implementation of Perl. Any advice would be much appreciated.
