That's a tricky one.
I suppose you're in a shell that supports backticks?
Have the script print the new, desired value to STDOUT.
Then try something like
VAR=`script.pl`
This has to be done in the environment where the variable resides.
You can't have a process change the environment of its parent.
What's the context?
I assume it's a command-line operation, but that the script has to
figure out what the new value is to be. If that's not the case, what
*are* you trying to do?
