running a perl script from c++??

[Guest_imported]

i have written a perl script to perform an ftp download automatically, so that is great. however, i would like to execute this perl script from a c++ program. any idea how i might do that? somehow i need to issue a command to the system? thanks for any help

Take a look at the standard C function system() prototyped in <stdlib.h>, or I guess <cstdlib> in a C++ program:

system(&quot;/path/to/script arg1 arg2&quot;
