I am new to this list and don't know a lot about perl, but I think you could use pipes
in perl.

% Please go through the following scenario:

%
% Is there a way by which Shell A can come to know of the value of the

% I don't know anything about IPC...can it work in this scenario?
The short answer: no. [I was thinking something of the same thing
recently.]
The somewhat longer answer: you could conceivably structure some output
so that your shell 'A' can parse it and change the values itself.
See my thread "Changing %ENV in parent" in
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
from July 06 here in the list for the suggestions that resulted.
