Re: Set up env variables on Linux

[Madan Kumar Nath]

Hello,     "cd" does not work as expected in perl.     use chdir instead and it will do what u want .     ex : chdir  "dest_folder"          # go to directory     system("ls ")                          # do what u want.     chdir "orignal_folder"              # come back to orignal dir Thanx Madan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I'm pretty new to Perl. I was trying to write up a perl script that can help set up my working env, for example, once log into Linux server, run the perl script, it'll move to another folder and configure some env variables. I tried using `cd dest_folder` or system "cd dest_folder" or exec "cd dest_folder" but after running script, the current folder doesn't change at all. Anyone please shed some lights on this. -- Thanx & Regards !! from Madan Interra Systems India Pvt. Ltd. A10, Sec9,NOIDA Ph: 0120-2442273/4 Ext 137              visit my homepage
