Subject: Re: setting and importing ENV from within PERL
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to :
a) set an ENV variable from within a perl script and
then print out it's value from within the same shell.
Here is the code that I am trying to use:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
# set some environment variables.
system(`setenv MY_VAR "test"`);
# print the value of MY_VAR
print " value of my_var is : $ENV{MY_VAR}\n";
Here is the system output :
% perl test_system.pl
sh: setenv: not found
Use of uninitialized value at test_system.pl line 12.
value of my_var is :
(pdxcs242, aix 4.1) %
Is there a way to do something like this ?
Thanks
PN
