It's possible but so see the output of the second script on the same time cann't. You can place on the top of a script the follow :

$Run_another = `/usr/bin/perl -w second.cgi > test.html`;

The second.cgi is starting the same time and the output is in test.html. This only a sample but play with this and it can be usefull.

thanks Jos,

following is the code to read any file:

Code:

$file = '/path/to/a/file';    # Name the file
open(INFO, $file);    # Open the file
@lines = <INFO>;    # Read it into an array
close(INFO);       # Close the file
print @lines;       # Print the array

also see the following

Code:

open(INFO, $file); # Open for input
open(INFO, ">$file"); # Open for output
open(INFO, ">>$file"); # Open for appending
open(INFO, "<$file"); # Also open for input
