Run a Shell script in a Perl script

Call a Bash script in a Perl script
Run a Shell script inside Perl script
Execute Shell script in a Perl script

If you making a perl script and somewhere you want to run a bash script inside that perl script.

It can be done easily through the following piece of code.

Here is a example of an infinite loop in shell script which prints 0 infinite times.
If you run this shell script statement in terminal, it gives you 0 infinite times.
while [ 4 -le 5 ]; do  echo 0;  done;

Suppose I want to run this Shell script from a Perl script, Now I add this line of code in my perl script.

system("bash -c 'while [ 4 -le 5 ]; do  echo 0;  done;'");

Now My Perl script runs this shell script code.

Suppose this line of code is saved in a shell script file as script.sh, now if I want to run this shell script from my perl script.

I simply add this line of code in my Perl script.
system("bash -c '/root/Desktop/url.sh'");
