The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Shell::Source
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Run programs and inherit environment changes
userid: PJCJ (Paul Johnson)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)
communities:
perl-beginners
similar:
None
rationale:
Here's something I've been running for years, but never quite got
around to packaging up and submitting to CPAN. Someone asked a
question on perl-beginners which I answered and received some
interest in this module so I've finally done something with it.
The purpose of the module is to run an arbitrary program, usually a
shell script, and inherit the changed environment. In effect it
allows you to source a shell script from within Perl.
I'm not totally convinced about the name, since any program can be
run, but I expect the majority of usage to be sourcing shell
scripts. I would welcome naming suggestions though.
