I don't know Perl, and don't plan to read all of that page you 
referenced, but judging from the subject line and the half-sentence 
description near the top of that page, you are looking for:

os.system
os.popen
popen2 (module)
subprocess (module, in 2.4)

Read about each and, preferring subprocess (as the most recent), try 
them out for yourself.
