I have been using this function without a problem for a few months on my
users... Is it really not changing the Environment variable, or is it not
changing it for a console window that you have open? What I mean is that I
have noticed that if I have a console window open when I use
Win32::AdminMisc::SetEnvVar(), I have to set the environment variable for
the window separately, but all other non-console windows use the new
environment. I set it by setting the appropriate key in the %ENV hash. For
example, "$ENV{'TIA'} = 865";

Subject: AdminMisc::SetEnvVar
Hello:
I wrote a script that modifies an environment variable during logon
with the
Wi32::AdminMisc::SetEnvVar function. Although the function sets the
environment
variable as expected, the change does not take effect until one of two
things
happen:
1) The user logs off and then back on;
2) The user goes to the System applet->Environment tab and then clicks "Ok"
(note that I don't have to do anything in the Environment tab; I only have
to
click on "OK").
So, my question is: why is this happening? Did I do something
wrong. Am I
using the wrong function. Is there some way to emulate the clicking of the
"Ok"
button in the Environment tab? Thank you.
