pass perl variables to shell script
I have a perl script that opens a text file containing numbers on each line:
for example:
755993
755994
755995
755996
755997
755998
The perl script takes these numbers and store them as an array @raw_data, where I can access individual numbers by using $raw_data[0] for the value 755993.
What I want is to pass the variable $raw_data[0] and the following numbers ($raw_data[1] ... $raw_data[77]) one by one into a shell script (bash) where I can store them as the variable ID_NUMBER (for example) and be able to use the value in my shell script. In case, I wasn't clear, I want to pass $raw_data[0] into my shell script, save it as the variable ID_NUMBER, run the rest of the shell script, then pass $raw_data[1] into the script and do the same thing as before.
I'm hoping someone can provide a solution to this problem. I've tried using the system() command in perl and possibly I'm doing it wrong, but it hasn't worked out for me.
Thanks in advance!

build-lives-rfx-plugin
build-lives-rfx-plugin(1) General Commands Manual build-lives-rfx-plugin(1)
NAME
build-lives-rfx-plugin - builds rendered effects for LiVES
SYNOPSIS
build-lives-rfx-plugin script_name [plugin_dir] -get section file
DESCRIPTION
This perl script is used by LiVES to compile an RFX (rendered effect) plugin for LiVES. It is generally called from build-lives-rfx-plugin-
multi for a script which has a language code representing LiVES-perl. The script_name must be the full (absolute) path to the plugin
script, and plugin_dir can be used to specify the output directory where the compiled plugin should be generated. If plugin_dir is not
defined then /tmp is assumed.
The second variant with -get is used to print out a script section from a plugin script to stdout. It is generally only used internally by
LiVES.
Return values The script returns the following values
0 - success 1 - the value of a trigger was greater than the number of parameters 2 - a value could not be read from the script file 3 - the
language code of the plugin script was not equivalent to LiVES-perl 4 - the API version level of the plugin script was invalid 5 - the
<define> section was missing from the plugin script
