George -- Make sure to use 'export' on your env. variables when setting them in a
shell.
So this should work:
export MYVARIABLE=astring
on my Red Hat box this did the trick:
[mcauthorn@bubba mcauthorn]$ export MYVAR=testing
[mcauthorn@bubba mcauthorn]$ perl -e 'print "$ENV{MYVAR}\n"'

I suspect you need to export MYVARIABLE.
MYVARIABLE=astring
export MYVARIABLE
or
export MYVA
