Perl question RE: using one script to run another

[NTB]

as long as running the 2nd script isn't the very last step in the first, of course

so...*I* start script_a.pl, and at some point during it's execution, it runs script_b.pl. script_a will sit and wait until script_b completes, and then continue running, correct?

Depends on what function you use to invoke it. If you use system or backticks, your script will block until the other command/script is completed.
