Shell Programming and Scripting

All,

I executing a perl script and shell script from a master shell script. i will execute the perl script first and have to execute the shell script after the completion of perl execution. Below is the code i use for it,

script_root='/dev/scripts'
/usr/bin/perl -S $script_root/test.pl; $script_root/test.sh

This is working fine. But if add redirect to log for the perl script, i get the below error

syntax error near unexpected token `;'

you are executing the perl script in background.

you can do like this..

 
/usr/bin/perl -S $script_root/test.pl >> log/perl_srt.log_$(date +%F) 2>&1
wait
$script_root/test.sh
