Shell Script inside perl script

I have a perl script which is working fine, but then I wanted to add some shell script in it. I tried to google but I don't know the exact word. Is it embedded programming? So this is what I know.

We can write assembly code in a C file like this:

*****
C - code
int a=10;
char *p;
asm {       //here is the secondary or embedded language (assembly code)
assembly code...
ldaa 1;
push;
}

back to C...
print( "this works");

I just want to do something along these lines, but with perl as the main language and shell script being the secondary or embedded language.

Thank you everyone

Is this what you are looking for?

$exec_string = <<EXEC;
echo this is my shell script
ls > tmp1
ls > tmp2
EXEC

system($exec_string)

EXEC can be substituted by any word (e.g. SHELL, SCRIPT, whatever).
