Hi all, I wrote a little form mail script and start by setting the environment variables like this:
BEGIN { $ENV{PATH} = "/usr/sbin"; delete @ENV{ qw( IFS CDPATH ENV BASH_ENV) }; } Now the actual directory (.) is obviously not searched anymore, since my $page_head = eval do('page_head.pl'); returns an empty $page_head while my $page_head = eval do('./page_head.pl'); fills it with the appropriate content. Commenting the BEGIN block above and printing $ENV{PATH} gives me: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/libexec:/System/Library/CoreServices I cannot see the current working directory in that list (but I admit that I am not used to environment variables at all). Can someone tell me how to restrict $ENV{PATH} but keep the script's ability to see something in its own directory?
