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!

atf-sh
ATF-SH(1) BSD General Commands Manual ATF-SH(1)
NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs
SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script
DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.
atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter-
preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
use any non-standard extensions.
The following options are available:
-s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
specific interpreter.
EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:
#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode
the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:
#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
