Is "system" what you want?

Before I realised there was a rather easier and better way to do it I was
using in one script something like

my $feeble=join '' , 'set CPRdir$Path ' , $inpath , 'work/';
# local Acorn FS conversion 
$feeble=~tr[\.\/][\/\.];
system $feeble;
unshift @INC , '/CPRdir:';

which seemed to work... (You can see from the choice of name that I was not
exactly happy with it...)
