How do I change my system command in the perl script to take up the bash alias?

Hi<br />
I have an alias 'push_hermes' defined under /home/www/.bashrc - <br />
alias push_hermes='cd ~/supervision/hermesAdmin;<wbr /> perl &nbsp;runLandSiteAdminWithAction<wbr />.pl $*'<br />
<br />
While I am trying to use this alias in a perl script - <br />
system (&quot;push_hermes $site_name $project_name push&quot;), the system() command doesn't seem to recognise the push_hermes alias.<br />
<br />
As a work around, I discontinued the use of the alias and made it inline in the perl script and it is working now. But I wanted it know, if it is possible to use an alias in the perl script?<br />
<br />
Regards

Can we use alias in a perl script

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
