He folks! Todays problem:
I need to get a value from an environment variable VALUE. This value is set by an shell script which location is stored in anonther environment variable called SCRIPT. So I first call the shell script by `. \$SCRIPT`; and extract then the value of VALUE by my $value = $ENV(VALUE); But something does not work, so $value is empty. As the shell script produces also an echo output I catch it by using my @output = `. \$SCRIPT`; I get this output correctly, but VALUE is still empty! I also tried also system(\$SCRIPT`); and `. /place/of/my/shellscript.sh`; Both don't have the wished effect. When I call the shell script in the shell and the start my perl script VALUE is set and available for my perl script. What is wrong?
