Thanks Errin/Jim/David,
Hi Willy,
Perl will auto-magically take all of your shell environment variables and
put them in a hash:
%ENV
where the keys are the variable names and the values are the values!
so, for your example above,
# perl -e 'print "$ENV{ABC}\n"'
should work!
--Errin
You can do the same in perl with the special hash named %ENV.
for instance: print $ENV{'SHELL'}
or you can use the env module:
perldoc -f env
THanks
Jim
$ENV{"ABC"}
This works for me, but I don't have a good understanding of what is going on
to make it work.
HTH,
David
