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?
