How to run 2 commands one after other in perl

I am trying to run 2 perl commands with sudo-like dzdo, but somehow i am not able to achieve the result. Can someone help me with it.

This is the sample of my requirement. I have 2 scripts named /home/user1/script1.pl and /home/user1/script2.pl

Here, I have the condition to run the second script once the first script is executed successfully. So i tried using below ways but still fails.

cmd="dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script1.pl && dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script2.pl";

cmd="dzdo -iHu admin "/home/user1/script1.pl" ; "/home/user1/script2.pl"";

cmd="dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script1.pl" && "dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script2.pl";

cmd="dzdo -iHu admin "/home/user1/script1.pl ; /home/user1/script2.pl"";

cmd="$cmd1 && $cmd2";

cmd="${cmd1} && ${cmd2}";

I am getting the error as "Unknown option: ihu" for all the above methods. I even tried with many combinations but end with same error. I think i am missing some basic declaration. If i mention something as below, it runs the second script but not the first.

cmd1="dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script1.pl";
cmd2="dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script2.pl";

Both the scripts are running as expected if I run the scripts manually outside the perl scripting.

user1@123abc.dev.com > dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script1.pl ; dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script2.pl

First of all, I'm not familiar with dzdo, and I can't find documentation for it.

> I am getting the error as "Unknown option: ihu"

If it's the same options as sudo, -ihu doesn't make much sense. -iHu, which you said you were using, would make more sense.

If that's not the issue, I can't help more with this part. Consult its documentation. (man dzdo?) You could try passing them separately (-i -H -u).

> I am trying to run 2 perl commands with sudo-like dzdo

If it's like sudo, it takes a program and arguments to pass to the program.

So what you want could be achieved using the following (once you get the issue with the options resolved):

dzdo -iHu admin /usr/bin/sh -c '/home/user1/script1.pl && /home/user1/script2.pl'

I separated both the scripts as CMD1 and CMD2 and executed both the scripts after declaring CMD1 and CMD2.

CMD1="dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script1.pl"; 
$CMD1
CMD2="dzdo -iHu admin /home/user1/script2.pl"; 
$CMD2
