Another thing you might want to try is making a small module to house your variables. You should be able to do something like this:
############### #ora.pm -- houses global variables for Oracle scripts package Steve::ora; $server = 'buddha'; $DB = 'mohammed'; 1 #don't forget that the last line of the module has to be a 1; ############### Then you can name your file ora.pm and put it in the site/lib/steve directory and use it like this: use Steve::ora; my $server = $Steve::ora::server; my $DB = $Steve::ora::DB; -----Original Message----- From: Steve Main [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 8:03 AM To: Kipp, James; Steve Main; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Environment setup Thanks for the quick reply James, How would I set this up in a script and have all the other scripts be able to use it? -----Original Message----- From: Kipp, James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 7:33 AM To: 'Steve Main'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Environment setup you can use the %ENV hash example: $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = "/opt/oracle/product/9.0.1"; > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Main [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, October 04, 2002 10:23 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Environment setup > > > Hello list, > > I have an Oracle framework written in Korn shell scripts that I am > attempting to re-write in Perl.
