Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to include perl script with in the unix shell script?
What would be the general syntax?

In the above case, is it required to write the below first two lines of codes?

#!usr/bin/sh -x
#!usr/bin/perl -w

Thanks in advance / Mysore Ganapati.

example:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
# print the epoch time in seconds when a file was last modified
# filename = $1
perl -e ' $mtime=(stat $ARGV[0])[9]; print "$mtime\n"; ' "$1"
