I would like to know how one could call MATLAB from a Perl script? To be exact, I want to run a *.m file with 

a = zeros(10)

from Perl. by the way, I am using Eclipse as an IDE for Perl.

I searched for a while, but could not find a clear answer. Please help!

    There are several PerlMonks nodes about this: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=642247, http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=818233 – Hunter McMillen Jul 27 '15 at 13:48

One could write here an *.m file for Matlab without using Matlab text editor or just comment the following lines till line EOF.

Start to write into 'Call_mfile.m' all lines after print $matlab <<EOF;

open(my $matlab, '>', 'Call_mfile.m');
print $matlab <<EOF;

 close all;
 clear all;
 clc;

% write here your Matlab code
a = zeros(10)

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
EOF
###########################################################################
# Use this command when you want to update your toolbox
#system('matlab rehash toolboxcache')

# Use this when you want to use Java interface!
# Notice!!
#    This could not then open another files which are called in Call_mfile.m 
#    file. Otherwise use the next command!

#system('matlab -nojvm -r Call_mfile');
system('matlab -r Call_mfile');
