Yes You can call a shell script in a perl script as any other shell command.
You can use qx or ``(backquotes) to execute the shell script.You can also define the variable to the output of the shell script depending on the context and requirement and it can be scalar or array.
Here is how it can be done
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
your regular perl code here...;
my $var or @var =`path to shell script` or qx(path to shell script);

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
