how can i call it from a shell script

I am new to perl. But may be this is the syntax

Code:

perl -w test.pl arg1 arg2 arg3

ranj@chn, you are correct.

Optionally, you can set execute permission to the perl script, add the following line as first line in the script:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

and then call it as:

Code:

test.pl arg1 arg2 arg2
